“…Interpretation may conveniently begin with reference to Cases 1-10, which on clinical and radiographic grounds, resembled the recently published description of non-specific respiratory illness in prematures. Diagnoses such as the Hamman-Rich syndrome (Hilton and Rendle Short, 1961 ) , or pneumocystis infection (Reye and ten Seldam, 1956), were entertained, but considered unlikely on the grounds of high incidence and favourable course. Bacterial or viral infection was thought a possible explanation for a time, but became less likely for the same reasons, as did mucoviscidosis which was also excluded by direct testing in some of the babies.…”

EDITORIAL SYNOPSIS Pulmonary function and respiratory mechanics have been examined, in detailed fashion, in infants of low birthweight shortly after birth and at intervals during the first year. A spectrum of deranged physiology, from that detected only by pulmonary function tests to overt respiratory illness for some time after birth, is thought to be due to mechanical disadvantages in the thorax and airways of immature babies.
