[Peritonitis in the neonatal period].

The authors report a case of 32-week-old newborn, admitted to the Intensive Care Unit for Newborns. Mechanical ventilation was needed from the first day of life. The patient was treated with indomethacin on the second day of life due to patent ductus arteriosus. On the seventh day pneumoperitoneum was diagnosed, emergency surgery was performed revealing perforation of Meckel's diverticulum. Perinatal asphyxia and indomethacin administration probably played an important role in this process.

[Adult type respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) induced by hydrocarbons].

The authors present a case of a child aged 32 months, victim of accidental ingestion of an unidentified hydrocarbon product. Sixteen hours following hospitalization, the patient began polypnea with progressive hypoxemia, with the radiograph showing ARDS pattern. Mechanical ventilation was initiated on the 2nd day of admission. During hospitalization the patient developed pneumomediastinum and bilateral pneumothorax which justified active drainage. Inspite of the initial poor prognosis, the patient improved, with no symptoms after discharge. The authors discuss certain theoretical considerations regarding hydrocarbon intoxication.
