Re: Premature birth tied to infections

Here's some more information about the effect of mycotoxins on pregnacy.  This

is from a 1993 study.

" During the last trimester of pregnancy, 10-25% of Nigerian and 18-28% of

Zambian women had serum

aflatoxins at levels ranging from 10 to 43,489 pg/ml at various times. At birth,

14% of Nigerian and 28%

of Zambian mothers had aflatoxins in their blood. Mean levels were 3,157 and

10,096 pg/ml, respectively.

There were aflatoxins in 16% of Nigerian and in 25% of Zambian cord bloods. Mean

levels were 2,942

and 8,210 pg/ml, respectively. The highest level was 108,625 pg/ml in a Zambian

infant. About 30% of all

breast milks analyzed in both countries showed aflatoxins in amounts up to

49,225 pg/ml. All infants

exposed to aflatoxin blood levels >1,000 pg/ml pre-natally, followed by exposure

to breast milk aflatoxins

>100 pg/ml, were reported to be unwell at ALL visits to the clinic. Analysis of

organs from autopsies on

an unexplained stillbirth and an early neonatal death of obscure cause revealed

significant amounts of

aflatoxins in organs from both. Aflatoxins were implicated in the pathogenesis

of

jaundice in G6PD-normal infants in Nigeria. " unexplainedneonatal

some down syndrome patients have been found to have moyamoya

disease,unknown cause.
