Meconium aspiration syndrome--unusual features.
A term infant with the meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) is described. He had the typical clinical course of the disease despite appearing well nourished, and with good Apgar scores. At 5 months of age, he continued to do well with no sequelae. The reason for the initial passage of meconium in-utero remained speculative. The fact that the disease is preventable is emphasised.
