Abstract
Summary
The life span of red cells of 5 newborns at high altitudes and 5 newborns at sea level was determined by “tagging” the cells with Cr51 and subsequently injecting them into healthy adults. Survival time of red cells in newborns is shorter than that observed in adult subjects. There was no appreciable difference in results obtained in newborns at sea level and at high altitudes.
