摘要
Health professionals in pediatrics,especially in neonatology,welcome the timely work of Chen et al.[1]Despite the widespread use of Thimerosal-containing vaccines(TCVs)in premature newborns,this is the first attempt to model exposure to thimerosal and neurodevelopment;that is why this study is both interesting and important.Given the special circumstances of the immature neurologic and immunologic systems of the premature-newborn,it is worth raising additional relevant issues to this revealing paper.
