Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate components of pulmonary surfactant and identify mutations in the surfactant protein B gene (SP-B) of a term infant with severe respiratory distress and chronic lung disease. PATIENT AND TESTING: Respiratory distress developed in an infant delivered at term, and he required extracorporeal bypass support for 2 weeks. Until his unexpected death at 9.5 months, he was ventilator and oxygen...
