Popis: Abstract Chylothorax is a rare but life‐threatening condition in neonates. We herein report the successful use of OK‐432 for a low‐birth‐weight infant with trisomy 18 who developed refractory chylothorax after thoracic surgery. Increasing the concentration of OK‐432 seems useful in cases with a lot of pleural effusion.
