[The content of Clara's cells protein in highly premature newborns with respiration disorders].

Abstract

The study was carried out to analyze the content of Clara's cells protein in highly premature newborns with respiration disorders in neonatal period. The sample of 106 premature newborns of gestational age 26-32 weeks and body mass at birth 660-1500 g was examined. The concentration of Clara's cells protein in bronchoalveolar liquid and blood serum was higher in patients with inborn pneumonia as compared with children with respiratory distress syndrome. The low content Clara's cells protein in highly premature newborns with pneumonia was related with subsequent development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
