Abstract excerpt

Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) plays an important role in the innate immune response. Three alleles in the MBL gene, and one allele of the promoter, independently cause low serum MBL levels as compared with the wild-type. This study investigated the relationship between MBL genotype and the occurrence of nosocomial infection among neonates in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Prospectively gathered information...
