AB Half  of  affected  infants  are  premature.  They  are  often  of  low  birth  weight  (<2500  g),  cyanotic,  and  with  low  Apgar  scores.  Physical  findings  appear  suddenly,  first  on  thighs  and  buttocks  and  spreading  rapidly  to  all  parts  of  the  body  except  hands,  soles,  and  genitalia.  The  skin  is  firm  to  hard  and  purplish  in  color.  Skin  cannot  be  pitted  or  picked  up.  Temperature  instability,  restricted  respiration,  difficulty  in  feeding,  and  decreased  spontaneous  movement  are  characteristics.
