Dear Editor
We would like to thank Dr Molloy for her interest in our recent paper showing delayed neutrophil apoptosis in infants who progressed to chronic lung disease prematurity (CLD) and indeed in those infants who do not survive their course of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for severe respiratory failure.[1] Having established the association, we are now exploring the potential mechanisms that mi...

Dear Editor
The paper by Kotecha et al reveals the important association between delayed pulmonary neutrophil apoptosis and neonatal chronic lung disease. This paper also raises several questions. Did the authors analyse the effect of labour on the neutrophil counts? It would be useful to know the mode of delivery as several papers have shown an effect on systemic neutrophil function and survival. Neutrophil coun...
