Wilson–Mikity syndrome, a form of chronic lung disease (CLD) that exists only in premature infants, leads to progressive or immediate development of respiratory distress. This rare condition affects low birth babies and is characterized by rapid development of lung emphysema after birth, requiring prolonged ventilation and oxygen supplementation. It is closely related to bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), differing mainly in the lack of prior ventilatory support. All the initial patients described with Wilson–Mikity syndrome were very low birth weight infants that had no history of mechanical ventilation, yet developed a syndrome that clinically resembled BPD. Upon the death of some of these infants, autopsies showed histologic changes similar to those seen in BPD.It was characterized by Miriam G. Wilson and Victor G. Mikity in 1960. Symptoms and signs
The onset of respiratory difficulty occurs at the first day of life and continues up to three weeks into the infants life, at which point treatment is needed for infant survival. Complications
Mothers who have developed chorioamnionitis during pregnancy put their infant at higher risk for development of Wilson-Mikity syndrome. It is a rare complication that requires prolonged treatment. Infection, however, is not shown to be an etiological factor, but a correlation to chorioamnionitis is identified as a risk. Cause
The cause of Wilson-Mikity syndrome is unknown. Diagnosis
The diagnosis of Wilson-Mikity syndrome can be made through two distinct symptoms: analogous characteristics of respiratory distress syndrome and presence of diffuse and streaky infiltrates with small cystic changes, seen through a chest X-ray.
