Abstract
Prophylactic induction of fetal surfactant through maternal steroid administration in early premature labor is becoming accepted clinical practice. This article describes an 840-gm, 27 weeks' gestation male infant, who had a profound, apparently benign, leukocytosis persisting throughout the first week of life following maternal dexamethasone administration.Keywords
