Summary Of 53 children with dystrophy of a temporary nature in the first year of life, 50 were followed up and examined at the ages of 11–13 years. The dystrophy seems more serious when it occurs in the first three months of life but once the child is better it seems to recover rather more quickly than those who become ill between the 6th and 12th month. There were no demonstrable after‐effects on either the somatic development nor the development of the teeth. One child had a low I.Q. but it could not be considered due to his illness.
