Abstract
A simplified method for the determination of lecithin in amniotic fluid by thin-layer chromatography is described. The results are similar to those found in previous reports and are suitable for the clinical prediction of foetal lung maturity. Factors which may influence the interpretation of the results are discussed.Keywords
