[Changes in the lungs in bronchopulmonary dysplasia in infants].
Microscopical and some electronmicroscopical findings were presented from 6 small children having died of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. The disease was connected with intensive long-term administration of concentrated oxygen in respirator. Lesions of various intensity were found in mucosa, connective tissue and vessels in the distal parts of lungs according to the severity of disease. Fibroproductive changes in honeycomb lung characterized the most serious form developing into an interstitial fibrosis.
