title: [Nosological limits of wet lung syndrome. Clinical and radiological investigations (author's transl)].
abstract: 41 hyaline membrane diseases (H.M.D.), 39 fetal aspiration syndromes (F.A.S.) and 81 wet lung syndromes (W.L.S.) observed during the last four years have been critically examined by the Authors. Anamnestic, clinic and radiological findings have revealed how it is difficult to make a differential diagnosis between W.L.S. and the two other neonatal respiratory disorders and therefore how it is difficult to classify the W.L.S. as an autonomous nosological entity. Therefore the AA. think that the neonatal respiratory disorders can be divided in only two groups: H.M.D. and F.A.S., and suggest the hypothesis that W.L.S. is not an autonomous nosological entity but may be only a milder clinic and radiological aspect of the two other syndromes.
