Pulmonary Hemosiderosis in Children with Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia
We describe a possible association between pulmonary hemosiderosis (PH) and a history of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Both patients were born at 28-week gestation and presented with PH at ages 22 months and 6 years, respectively. Both initially presented with cough and tachypnea, and bronchoalveolar lavage showed evidence of hemosiderin-laden macrophages. Initial hemoglobin levels were < 4...
متن کاملPulmonary hypertension in infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia
An increase in the number of preterm infants and a decrease in the gestational age at birth have resulted in an increase in the number of patients with significant bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and secondary pulmonary hypertension (PH). PH contributes significantly to the high morbidity and mortality in the BPD patients. Therefore, regular monitoring for PH by using echocardiography and B-ty...
متن کاملPredictors of bronchopulmonary dysplasia and pulmonary hypertension in newborn children.
INTRODUCTION Infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) are at high risk of developing cardiovascular sequelae in the form of pulmonary hypertension (PH) which significantly increases morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of BPD, to identify characteristics associated with BPD and to identify characteristics associated with PH in infants with BPD. MAT...
متن کاملPulmonary Biomarkers of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia, or BPD, is a chronic pulmonary disorder of premature infants, commonly defined as having an oxygen requirement at 36 weeks postmenstrual age. It is an important source of morbidity and mortality in premature neonates. Its' etiology appears to be multifactorial with the most common associations being prematurity, need for mechanical ventilation, and oxygen exposure. I...
متن کاملImpaired pulmonary vascular development in bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), the chronic lung disease associated with preterm birth, results from the disruption of normal pulmonary vascular and alveolar growth. Though BPD was once described as primarily due to postnatal injury from mechanical ventilation and oxygen therapy after preterm birth, it is increasingly appreciated that BPD results from antenatal and perinatal factors that inte...
