title: [Treatment of hyaline membrane disease with the plasminogen urokinase combination].
abstract: The authors present the results obtained using a therapeutic combinaison of plasminogen-urokinase in vivo in 14 premature infants suffering from respiratory distress. 86 % survived, a considerable improvement over classical survival rates. In addition it appeared that the duration of oxygen therapy was shorter, secondary to limitation of extension of the disease.
