Abstract
Chylothorax is a rare but life-threatening condition in neonates. We herein report the successful use of OK-432 for a low-birth-weight infant with trisomy 18 who developed refractory chylothorax after thoracic surgery. Increasing the concentration of OK-432 seems useful in cases with a lot of pleural effusion.
