  5. 13. Chronic lung disease of prematurity : a study of selected causative factors and preventive measures

    Author : Baldvin Jónsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Chronic lung disease of prematurity (CLD) is the most common chronic lung disorder in infants. With the increase in survival of preterm infants in recent years, many immature infants are surviving with CLD. Care of preterm babies with CLD is a major clinical problem in neonatal intensive care.

  6. 14. Ureaplasma urealyticum induced pulmonary inflammation in the development of chronic lung disease of prematurity

    Author : Yinghua Li; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Chronic lung disease (CLD) of prematurity is a prolonged respiratory failure in very-lowbirthweight neonates. This disorder is multifactorial and associated with an early increase in the numbers of neutrophils and alveolar macrophages, together with. morphological abnormalities in epithelial and endothelial cells.
