  • Title: A neonate with bilateral refractory chylothorax--a case report.
    Author: Salem P.
    Journal: Med J Malaysia; 1991 Dec; 46(4):376-8. PubMed ID: 1840449.
    Abstract:
    A thirty six week gestation male baby weighing three kilogram was born to a twenty five year old mother by spontaneous vaginal delivery. At four hours of life, the baby developed respiratory distress with cyanosis and was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. There was clinical and radiological evidence of bilateral pleural effusion. Thoracentesis revealed a transudate. Repeated thoracentesis was necessary to relieve the respiratory distress. Subsequently, multi resistant Klebsiella aerogenes was isolated from the blood. The baby expired due to gram negative sepsis.
