 AB    Retrospectively, were tested maternal-neonatal factors of 47 newborn
       with neonatal abstinence syndrome comparing them with a control group of
       100 newborn, during the period from 1985 to 1991. An average incidence
       of 6/1000 living newborn were affected by abstinence syndrome. The
       mothers were young (75%), smokers (74%), unemployed (80%), with a high
       rate of previous abortions (21%) and with a bad pregnancy control.
       Within our environment, abstinence syndrome increase has been detected
       among children of young gypsy mothers. Heroin (88%) was the most popular
       drug. Nevertheless a change has been noted in the last few years in the
       drug administration going from intravenous to the inhalational route.
       The duration of syndrome was less in the newborn whose mothers had
       inhaled heroin and in the premature newborn. It was proved that there
       was a high rate of HIV (40%), hepatitis B (23%), and syphilis markers
       (25%).
