A study of specific and non-specific immune functions was performed in 14 children presenting with severe malnutrition, before and after parenteral hyperalimentation by central catheter. Anomalies of cellular functions (reduction of the percentage of E rosettes and deficient proliferation with mitogens) were rarely found. Measurements for serum immunoglobulins did not show any anomaly; however reduced percentages of EAC rosettes and important increase in "null" cells were found in about one third of the cases. The main finding was a decreased serum chemotactic activity following activation of the classic complement pathway. This was found in 12 children and returned to normal values in all cases after hyperalimentation.

Scanning and transmission electron microscopic studies on two autopsy cases of acute interstitial pneumonitis caused probably by anticancer agents and intravenous hyperalimentation were reported. SEM revealed clearly the light microscopic findings of acute interstitial pneumonitis; hyaline membrane, Masson body, and glandular metamorphosis. Additionally an organization-process of Masson body and the relationship between Masson body and hyaline membrane were shown by SEM. TEM revealed three kinds of myelin-like lamellate structures in the alveolar exudates of both cases, and they were associated with the lamellar body of the B (type II) alveolar epithelium and the secretory granules of Clara-like cell. The myelin-like lamellate structures might suggest the degree of alveolar damage.
