Phosphatidylglycerol in tracheal aspirates for diagnosis of hyaline membrane disease.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lecithin:sphingomyelin ratio and phosphatidylglycerol were determined by a rapid, simple method in tracheal aspirates obtained from 132 newborn infants with respiratory diseases, sixty five of whom developed hyaline membrane disease. Phosphatidylglycerol determination was more sensitive (97%) than lecithin:sphingomyelin ratio, but their specificities were similar (76%).

amj gastric aspirate in premature infants
Phospholipid analyses in tracheal, hypopharyngeal or gastric aspirates of premature infants have been performed in order to predict or to establish the diagnosis of hyaline membrane disease (HMD) [1, 2, 3, 4, 7]. The predictive value of solely measuring the lecithin/spingomyelin ratio (L/S) in these fluids is controversial. Few studies have included the detection of phosphatidylglycerol (PG), a...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Amniostat-FLM assay for assessment of fetal lung maturity.
Results of the "Amniostat-FLM" assay, a rapid semiquantitative test for phosphatidylglycerol, were compared with determinations of the lecithin/sphingomyelin (L/S) ratio, with phosphatidylglycerol measured by two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography, and with results of the "shake test" for 94 specimens of amniotic fluid. Correlation between results with the Amniostat and the other tests was e...

Perforation of an infant's trachea after orotracheal intubation for general anaesthesia is a rarely described serious complication. This article reports an unusual case of laceration of the trachea in an 8-week-old infant with a history of prolonged neonatal intubation needed to treat hyaline membrane disease. After diagnosis the tracheal injury was managed conservatively. Factors involved in t...

The respiratory tract is the primary mode of entry for the Zygomycetes. Pulmonary infections usually occur in the immunocompromised patient and resemble those caused by the aspergillus spp. Risk factors include hematologic problems, ketoacidosis, long- term immunosuppressive therapy, and underlying lung disease. Needle aspirates or biopsy specimens provide the best yield for diagnosis. Tissue s...

Fatal familial surfactant protein B deficiency EDrroR,-In 1993 a sibship of three infants who died of hyaline membrane disease had had an absence of surfactant protein B (SP-B) and its mRNA in lung tissue.' The gene coding for SP-B has been located and a frameshift mutation in this gene has been identified in the reported sibship and in two other families .2 A further six cases of SP-B deficien...
