Abstract
The in vitro effect of dexamethasone on the clonal growth of haematopoietic progenitors in preterm infants was investigated. Concentrations of 10(6)M to 10(9)M were associated with a dose dependent inhibition of colony formation, with the most clinically important effects seen on the earliest erythroid and granulocyte-macrophage colonies. Because of the potential clinical implications of these observations, studies are needed to determine the effects of dexamethasone on haematopoiesis in preterm infants.Entities:
