CYANOSIS IN INFANTS CAUSED BY NITRATES IN WELL WATER
Abstract
Two examples of a previously unrecognized condition which may be confused with congenital heart disease are cited in this report. The condition may occur anywhere in rural areas where well water is used in infant feeding. REPORT OF CASES Case 1.— C. H., a white female baby, was born two weeks before the expected date by cesarean section because of toxemia of pregnancy, which had been severe for one month. The birth weight was 3,870 Gm. (8 pounds 8 ounces). There was no known neonatal distress. On the twelfth day after birth, when she left the hospital, she weighed 3,720 grams (8 pounds 3 ounces). The formula she was receiving at that time was evaporated milk 210 cc. and water 540 cc. with 30 Gm. of a dextrin-maltose preparation. She was admitted to a local hospital at 18 days of age because of vomiting, excessive crying and failure to gain

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
