JACOB J. PARKER M.D.1, VICTOR G. MIKITY M.D.1, and GEORGE JACOBSON M.D.1

A case of perforation of the rectum by a thermometer in a premature infant with pneumoperitoneum is reported. Recent experience with 17 other cases of pneumoperitoneum in infants, and 10 cases of intestinal perforation without pneumoperitoneum, is tabulated. The mortality rate was 89 per cent in the first group and 80 per cent in the second. The literature on pneumoperitoneum and intestinal perforation in infancy is reviewed.
