The Danzig quintuplets were born in the 33rd week of pregnancy. Both the third and fifth child required treatment during the first 24 hours. During their stay in our clinic (81 days) all showed signs of dyspepsia and early anemia; two were treated for otitis media, and migrating convulsions were observed in one as a result of hyposaliemia. All the infants were discharged as healthy.
