Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Pulmonary Lavage Fluid from Premature Infants: Effects of Age and Postnatal Dexamethasone

Corticosteroids are used to ameliorate bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). They also affect normal development, including the expression of growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Deep pulmonary lavage specimens were collected on days 1, 3, 7 and 28 of life in 40 infants of
