  • Title: Surfactant maturation and preterm premature membrane rupture: a case study.
    Author: James DK, Eddowes H, Rodgers A, Harkes A, Williams M.
    Journal: Fetal Diagn Ther; 1990; 5(3-4):205-10. PubMed ID: 2130846.
    Abstract:
    Preterm premature membrane rupture (PPROM) is known to accelerate fetal lung surfactant maturation. The mechanism for this is unclear. We report a case of prolonged PPROM, where the maturation of fetal surfactant was studied in detail by the serial analysis of surfactant phospholipids in the drained liquor.
