, M.D.
Pages 86-90 | Published online: 16 May 2016

Included in the wide range of underlying causes are congenital anomalies, infections, hyaline membrane disease, and aspiration syndromes. Differentiation often hinges on a combination of key historical points, the physical examination, the pattern of presenting symptoms, and the chest x-ray film.
