Core Tip	Mode of delivery may influence the immune system of offspring with possible long-term consequences. We report a case of twins one of which delivered vaginally while the other delivered by caesarian section (C-section). We found lower frequency of immune cells in the cord blood and placenta of C-section delivered compared to vaginally delivered newborn. However, higher percentage of neutrophils was observed in the placenta of C-section delivered newborn. Interestingly, for the very first time we found lower percentages of immunosuppressive CD71+ erythroid cells in both cord blood and placenta tissues of C-section delivered offspring. Thus, mode of delivery can modulate the immune system of newborn. In particular, lower frequency of CD71+ erythroid cells and its poten­tial impact on adaptation to microbiome merits further investigations.
