My reaction to the remarks of Dr. St. Geme, which concern the "gray syndrome," was one of agreement. I was pleased that the problem had been so clearly outlined and could again be brought to the attention of all concerned with care of the newborn infant. We here have not observed all of the symptoms and signs as outlined by Dr. St. Geme, which have been variously quoted to be the result of excessive amounts of chloramphenicol.
