Q

A 17-year-old primigravida gives birth at 34 weeks’ gestation to a male infant of low birth weight. The infant is given exogenous surfactant and does not develop respiratory distress. On the third day of life, physical examination reveals hypotension, abdominal distention, and absent bowel sounds, and there is bloody stool in the diaper. A radiograph shows pneumatosis intestinalis and abdominal free air. What do you think of the diagnosis?

A

Necrotizing enterocolitis

Q

An 18-year-old woman gives birth to a term infant after an uncomplicated pregnancy and delivery. Over the first 2 days of life, the infant becomes mildly icteric. On physical examination, there are no morphologic abnormalities. Laboratory studies show a neonatal bilirubin concentration of 4.9 mg/dL. The direct Coombs test of the infant’s RBCs yields a positive result. The infant’s blood type is A negative, and the mother’s blood type is O positive. What type of bilirubin is present in child’s blood?

Q

A P2G1 diabetic woman is at risk of delivering at 29 weeks gestation. Her obstetrician counsels her that there is a risk the baby could have significant pulmonary distress after it is born. However, she states she will give the mother corticosteroids, which will help prevent this from occurring. Additionally, the obstetrician states she will perform a test on the amniotic fluid which will indicate the likelihood of the infant being affected by this syndrome. Which of the following ratios would be most predictive of the infant having pulmonary distress?

Lecithin: sphingomyelin ratio

A

Lecithin: sphingomyelin ratio < 1.5
