Rare mutations causing an absence of the SP-B protein result in progressive respiratory failure. Dominant mutations of <em>SP-C</em> associate with chronic lung disease, with variable manifestations.

Several important factors contribute to augmented oxidative stress in the newborn and especially the preterm infant: first, because of its immaturity, the lung of preterm infants is frequently exposedto oxygen therapy and hyperoxia. Second, the antioxidant defense and its ability to be induced during an hyperoxic challenge are impaired. Third, the preterm infant has an increased susceptibility to infection and inflammation, which increases oxidative stress. Fourth, free iron, which catalyzes the production of toxic reactive oxygen species, can be detected in preterm infants. The molecular and cellular mechanisms for free radical-induced injury are now understood in more detail, and it is clear that oxidative stress plays an important role in triggering apoptosis, in serving as second messenger and in signal transduction. This new insight mightlead to novel and efficient therapies. So far, there has been no significant breakthrough regarding antioxidant therapies.

In this article, we briefly outline mechanisms of pulmonary vascular injury in infants at risk of BPD. We then focus on the recognition and management of pulmonary hypertension in these infants.
