Dear friends!

Yesterday I had a discussion with my colleague about the late appearance of PDA. My opinion was – the reason in most cases is infection. But I couldn’t find any articles or researches about it. Could anybody help me with literature (if I am right, of course)?

Thank you,

Darya

Read this classic article by Gonzales and co.workers!

...CONCLUSIONS: Infection adversely influences PDA outcome by increasing the risk of late ductal reopening and PDA closure failures...

Thank you very much!

The classics would be a good argument in discussion.
