Abstract
Umbilical cord blood thiamine levels of 105 new born infants and the venous blood thiamine levels of their mothers at the time of delivery were biochemically studied. The results show a wide range of thiamine values in both mothers and infants. There is a definite dependence and correlation between the thiamine values of the babies and their mothers; the thiamine concentration in the cord blood of the infants being greater than the thiamine concentration in the blood of its mothers. The majority of the mothers studied here have blood thiamine values comparable with the values for normal healthy Western subjects.
