A member asked:
Is neonatal pneumonia a cause of enlargemnt of the heart in neonates?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neonatal pneumonia: No! neonatal pneumonia does not cause cardiac consequences in new born, with no congenital cardiac condition. Sometimes chest x ray shows 'large' cardia silhouette, because of the position of the newborn while taking x ray.
