Yellow hyaline membrane disease (YMH) of the neonate may be diagnosed clinically by tracheal aspiration cytology, an easily accessible, noninvasive, and safe technique. Since the frequent association of yellow membranes and kernicterus in premature infants at relatively low levels of serum bilirubin is significant, this means of diagnosis during life may be useful in identifying infants at risk for kernicterus. We also suggest use of this technique in evaluating the role of possible factors in the pathophysiology of yellow hyaline membranes.
新生儿黄色透明膜病（YMH）可通过气管吸引细胞学检查进行临床诊断，这是一种易于实施、无创且安全的技术。由于在血清胆红素水平相对较低的早产儿中，黄色膜与核黄疸频繁关联具有重要意义，这种生前诊断方法可能有助于识别有核黄疸风险的婴儿。我们还建议使用该技术来评估可能因素在黄色透明膜病理生理学中的作用。
