Abstract

Aspiration of uncontaminated amniotic fluid as a cause of significant respiratory distress in neonates is not well documented. We report a term neonate who presented with severe respiratory distress soon after birth. The diagnosis of amniotic fluid aspiration was confirmed at autopsy. Implications of this diagnosis in the management of neonates with respiratory distress are discussed.
