Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Meconium diseases in infancy cannot be neatly separated into discrete categories of meconium plug syndrome, meconium ileus, and meconium peritonitis; nor can the therapy of each condition. A patient with any of the three may or may not have cystic fibrosis. All babies with any form of meconium obstruction or atresia must have a sweat chloride test to confirm or rule out this diagnosis. Repeated gastrografin enemas can decrease the need for operative intervention in all babies with meconium plug syndrome and in selected babies with meconium ileus. Babies with meconium diseases can now be managed with a low perinatal mortality. |
