Abstract

Introduction: Respiratory disorders remain an important newborn complication. Currently, there have been alarming information about the impact of repeated courses (even one “resque” course) of RDS prophylaxis on the quality of health in childhood and adulthood. Therefore, the search for available tests to determine the fetal lungs maturity in women at high risk of PTB is an important practical problem. Lamellar bodies (LBCs) produced by type II pneumocytes and appearing in the amniotic fluid in 28–32 weeks may serve as a possible such potential marker.
