Abstract
Sections of lung from four maternal deaths have been stained with an antibody raised to human keratin. This method has been found to be a more sensitive technique for determining amniotic fluid emboli than other special stains and has shown a higher incidence than expected.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
