1. Hyaline Membrane Chest - Radiograph
Chest radiograph of a newborn premature infant shows hazy lung fields
indicating fluid or an infiltrate in the airspaces. This is often
called "ground glass opacification" and is characteristic of hyaline
membrane disease. Similar changes are seen with Group B Streptococcal
pneumonia. What other pathologic processes may produce a similar
picture?
