Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary surfactant is crucial for lung stability, and mutations in the ABCA3 gene are the leading cause of serious respiratory issues in newborns.
- A case was reported of a Bosnian baby boy with severe respiratory distress due to an ABCA3 mutation, which improved significantly after treatment with Hydroxychloroquine, Azithromycin, and Corticosteroids.
- The variable outcomes of ABCA3 mutation patients highlight the effectiveness of Hydroxychloroquine, potentially through its anti-inflammatory properties, in managing this condition.
