From: Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccination, thymic size, and thymic output in healthy newborns
The association between thymic weight index at birth and subsequent infections in term infants. Infants are grouped into categories with none or at least 1 episodes of parent reported infections in the first 3 mo of life. Thymic size is given as quartiles of thymic weight index at birth. Compared with children in the three lower quartiles of TI, the children in the highest quartile had a 75% decrease in risk of infections, P = 0.05.
