Abstract:
Hyaline membrane disease is primarily a disorder of preterm infants. Its occurrence in term infants is very uncommon and therefore may escape attention. We describe a term infant who developed severe respiratory distress soon after birth. Diagnosis of hyaline membrane disease was revealed at autopsy.
