Infant acute respiratory distress syndrome

Infant acute respiratory distress syndrome is a lung disorder that affects premature infants caused by developmental insufficiency of surfactant production and structural immaturity of the lungs. The symptoms usually appear shortly after birth and may include tachypnea, tachycardia, chest wall retractions (recession), expiratory grunting, nasal flaring and cyanosis during breathing efforts.

	Previous deaths were mistakenly attributed to hyaline membrane disease (HMD), congenital Mycoplasma hominis infection, and pulmonary hypertension, however, following the diagnosis in the proposita, SP-B deficiency was also confirmed in her deceased siblings by immunohistochemical staining of autopsy specimens.

	We describe a premature baby with X pentasomy, having a severe pulmonary hypertension secondary to perinatal asphyxia and hyaline membrane disease which appeared to be refractory to conventional treatments (hyperventilation, tolazoline, prostacyclin).

	A 2.7-year-old developmentally delayed boy diagnosed as having chronic lung disease, severe hyaline membrane disease, and persistent pulmonary hypertension with interstitial emphysema was referred in hopes of modifying his refusal to wear a mask during nebulized administrations of Chromolyn.
