Abstract
We recently read the letter to the editor written by Gale et al. As a result of the remarkable improvements in neonatal intensive care, an increasing number of premature babies are now able to survive beyond the neonatal period. Therefore, there also seems to be a great need to know the normal values of α-fetoprotein in these babies that were not fully mentioned in that article. Goraya et al reported plasma α-fetoprotein levels in premature babies of various gestational ages, including some term neonates.
