This study evaluated the neurodevelopmental outcomes of extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants with Candida infection by analyzing data from the Candida study and the NRN Generic Database. The study found that 31% of ELBW infants in the Candida study had Candida infection or late-onset non-Candida sepsis, and these infants had higher rates of neurodevelopmental impairment at 18 months compared to uninfected infants. Infants with Candida sepsis and/or meningitis were more likely to experience death or neurodevelopmental impairment than uninfected infants. Candida infection was associated with an increased risk of cerebral palsy and neurodevelopmental impairment.

The effects of children receiving the influenza vaccination in comparison to ...
The document discusses a presentation given by Karalyn Gonzalez on the effects of children receiving the influenza vaccination compared to school absenteeism. The presentation defines what a vaccination is, states the research question as whether children who receive the flu vaccine will miss more or less school than unvaccinated children, and hypothesizes that vaccinated children will miss more days. It then reviews findings from three articles supporting that vaccinated children actually miss fewer school days and have lower absenteeism rates during flu season.

This document summarizes research on the enterovirus strain EV-D68 and its ability to cause respiratory illness in children. The key points are:
1) EV-D68 typically causes mild cold symptoms but in some cases can lead to wheezing and difficulty breathing as it affects the lower respiratory tract.
2) Studies are being conducted to understand why this strain may be causing more severe illness and if there are any genetic differences from past strains.
3) While most children recover on their own, those with underlying conditions like asthma are at higher risk and parents should seek medical care if their child's breathing becomes labored.
Investigational TB Vaccine Lacks Efficacy in Infants
An investigational tuberculosis vaccine called MVA85A was tested in a clinical trial involving over 2,700 infants in South Africa. The vaccine was found to be safe but did not provide significant protection against TB infection compared to a placebo. While it generated an immune response, the response was much lower than seen previously in adult trials. The reasons for the lack of efficacy in infants requires further exploration. However, researchers believe MVA85A and other TB vaccines still warrant further study and could potentially help control TB, especially if used as a booster for BCG or in populations where BCG is less effective.
Immunizations Nurses
Nurses are often the frontline for educating parents and administering immunizations to children. However, the immunization-autism debate has led more parents to refuse vaccines due to safety concerns. The author argues that nurses should be better educated on the debate so they can inform parents of alternative schedules that involve fewer, more spread out vaccines as a compromise. A poll by the author found that over 50% of respondents who believe vaccines may cause autism would choose an alternative schedule. Offering parents realistic options and education may increase immunization rates while also addressing legitimate safety fears.
Bacteremia in infants
1) The document discusses the current management of occult bacteremia in infants presenting with fever without a source.
2) The prevalence of occult bacteremia has dramatically decreased in recent years due to conjugate vaccines for Streptococcus pneumoniae and Neisseria meningitidis.
3) Urinary tract infection is now the most common bacterial infection found in infants presenting with fever without a source.
seminar of antibiotic in newborn
This document provides information about antibiotic resistance in neonatal infections. It discusses the high prevalence of sepsis in newborns, particularly in developing countries like Bangladesh. The most common causative organisms identified in studies from BSMMU NICU are Klebsiella and Acinetobacter. Resistance to first-line antibiotics like ampicillin and gentamicin is widespread. Later studies found increasing resistance even to drugs like meropenem and colistin remains the most effective treatment in many cases. Ongoing surveillance of antibiotic resistance patterns is needed to guide optimal therapy for neonatal sepsis.

The study was conducted to analyze the role of Cytomegalovirus (CMV), Rubella and Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-2) as an etiological agent in congenital infections in infants. The study was carried out at National Reference Centre i.e. NCDC, Delhi where samples are referred from various government hospitals of Delhi from the period of January 2013–December 2013. The samples were tested for CMV, Rubella and HSV specific IgM antibodies by μ capture ELISA (Enzyme linked Immunoassay).
Pertactin-negative B. pertussis in USA.
Researchers in the US discovered 11 out of 12 Bordetella pertussis isolates tested were negative for the pertactin protein. Further sequencing revealed the pertactin gene was disrupted or contained stop codons in the 11 isolates. While previously found in other countries, this suggests pertactin-negative variants may now be present in the US. More data is needed from other regions to determine if this is widespread or a local occurrence. Understanding these variants is important for developing improved pertussis vaccines.

This document summarizes a study of 11 preterm infants with severe human rhinovirus (HRV) infections. Key findings include:
1) Nine of the 11 infants were preterm (median gestational age of 30 weeks) and 7 of the 9 preterm infants acquired HRV during their stay in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
2) All infants presented with respiratory distress and required respiratory support like mechanical ventilation for a median of 6 days. Chest x-rays showed findings like perihilar streakiness and atelectasis.
3) HRV infection was diagnosed using real-time polymerase chain reaction testing of nasopharyngeal aspirates which showed high viral loads. All infants
Prediction and prognosis of disease
The document discusses risk factors for febrile seizures in children and factors that increase the risk of recurrence or development of epilepsy. It notes that a family history of febrile seizures, age under 18 months, and height and duration of fever are definite risk factors for recurrence. Children with two or more risk factors have over a 30% chance of recurrence within two years. Neurodevelopmental abnormalities, complex febrile seizures, and family history of epilepsy are definite risk factors for later development of epilepsy.
Vaccines: The Effects and Risks
Many anti-vaccination campaigners claim that vaccines are having detrimental effects on our bodies. But what is the scientific evidence for their claims? This presentation discusses the science, the risks and the myths surrounding vaccines and their effects on individuals.

This study examined the association between maternal infection during pregnancy and risk of childhood epilepsy. The researchers used prescription and hospitalization records to identify prenatal exposure to maternal infection in over 191,000 Danish births between 1998-2008. They found that children exposed prenatally to maternal infection had a 40% higher rate of epilepsy by age 5 compared to unexposed children. The association was not affected by the trimester of exposure, type of antibiotic used, or number of prescriptions. The results suggest that general processes of maternal infection, rather than specific pathogens or drugs, may underlie the increased risk of epilepsy in offspring.
Vaccines - the Basics
The atmosphere of fear surrounding vaccines in the developed world continues to flourish. Well-meaning parents are withholding vaccines from their children, in part because of insufficient knowledge. This presentation takes you through the facts - what vaccines are and how they keep individuals and populations safe from certain diseases. It is the first in a two part series on vaccinations and is designed to encourage parents to become informed in order to make the best parenting decisions.
Lisa McQueen - Pearl or Fecalith?
I’ve long been a fan of David Newman’s “Pseudoaxioms,” those medical proclamations handed down from generation to generation despite growing evidence that they are false. In this talk, I turn a critical eye toward common pseudoaxioms in pediatrics. Does aspirin really cause Reye syndrome? Should you routinely use atropine in preparation for neonatal intubation? Join me in an exploration of these and other pseudoaxioms. I may even debunk the notion that “children are not just little adults.”

This document discusses the trends in chickenpox (varicella) in the USA before and after the introduction of the varicella vaccine in 1995. Before 1995, around 4 million people in the USA would get chickenpox each year, resulting in over 10,000 hospitalizations and 100-150 deaths annually. The varicella vaccine was found to be safe and effective based on data from other countries where it was already in use. Studies also found the vaccine to be cost-effective. After the vaccine was recommended for children in 1995, rates of chickenpox declined significantly, reducing medical costs and lost work days associated with the disease.
Immunizations – Not Just for Kids!
This document discusses vaccinations for adults. It outlines 14 vaccine-preventable diseases that affect both children and adults, including influenza, pertussis, hepatitis A & B, HPV, and pneumonia. It recommends vaccines for adolescents (Tdap, HPV, meningitis) and adults (shingles, pneumonia). The importance of adult vaccination is discussed in preventing the spread of diseases and outbreaks. Case studies are provided of pertussis and meningitis outbreaks. The conclusion emphasizes that vaccinations provide protection across the lifespan and are less costly than treatment of preventable diseases.

Daily probiotic supplementation with Lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidobacteria for 6 months reduced illness symptoms in children aged 3 to 5 during winter. Compared to placebo, probiotics reduced fever incidence by 73%, cough incidence by 62%, rhinorrhea by 59%, antibiotic use by 84%, and missed school days. A study of 326 children found that taking these probiotic strains daily led to fewer episodes and shorter duration of fever, cough, and rhinorrhea during cold and flu season.
When There is Risk There Must Be Choice
Everyone agrees that all children react differently to shots, and some kids will have bad reactions. There cannot be compulsory vaccination in absence of controlled clinical trials of the childhood vaccine schedule.
Influenza in pregnancy , what every clinician should do?
This document discusses the risks of influenza in pregnancy and recommendations for vaccination and treatment. Key points:
- Pregnant women are at higher risk of severe complications from influenza compared to non-pregnant women. This risk is highest in the second and third trimesters.
- Influenza vaccination is recommended for all pregnant women during any trimester to protect both mother and baby. However, vaccine uptake among pregnant women remains low.
- Early treatment with oral oseltamivir is recommended for pregnant women with suspected or confirmed influenza, regardless of trimester. Treatment should begin within 48 hours of symptom onset.

- A birth cohort study was conducted in Brazil to determine the incidence and risk factors of DENV infection in infants during their first 2 years of life. 415 mother-infant pairs were enrolled from 2010-2012.
- The incidence of DENV infection was 107.6 per 1,000 person-years in the first year and 93.3 per 1,000 person-years in the second year. The highest incidence occurred between 10-12 months of age, coinciding with waning maternal antibodies.
- Male infants had twice the risk of infection in the first year. Caucasian/Asian maternal ethnicity also predicted infection in the second year. Most infections were asymptomatic.

Tick Born Meningitis
Tick Born MeningitisMedical Schools University Maribor and University Ljubljana, Nursing Science University Primorska
The document discusses the role of general practitioners (GPs) in preventing tick-borne meningoencephalitis. It notes that tick-borne diseases are endemic in Slovenia, with 153-532 new cases per year. While there is no specific treatment, vaccination can be effective. However, Slovenia's vaccination rate is only 10%, much lower than Austria's rate of 86-90%. The document argues that GPs can play an important role in prevention through advising on and offering immunization to patients. It concludes that GPs need to understand vaccination schedules and keep accurate immunization records.When There is Risk There Must Be Choice
This document discusses the risks of vaccines and mandates for vaccination. It summarizes that where there are risks, individuals should have the choice to accept those risks. It notes that vaccine makers have no liability for injuries caused by "unavoidably unsafe" vaccines. Statistics are presented on payouts from the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program totaling over $3 billion. Concerns raised include lack of long-term safety studies, risks of adjuvants like aluminum, and vaccine failures resulting in outbreaks among vaccinated populations. The document argues that individuals who choose not to vaccinate for reasons of conscience pose no greater public health risk than those who are vaccinated.
Why to vaccinate Pre-teens for HPV, Odia
Two doses of the HPV vaccine are recommended for all boys and girls at ages 9-12; If you wait until they’re older, they may need three doses instead of two.
Children who start the vaccine series on or after their 15th birthday need three shots given over 6 months. If your teen hasn’t gotten the vaccine yet, talk to his/her doctor about getting it as soon as possible. HPV vaccination is also recommended for everyone through age 26 years, if not vaccinated already.
Vaccination is not recommended for everyone older than age 26 years. However, some adults age 27 through 45 years who are not already vaccinated may decide to get HPV vaccine after speaking with their doctor about their risk for new HPV infections and the possible benefits of vaccination. HPV vaccination in this age range provides less benefit, as more people have already been exposed to HPV.
Pertussis
This document outlines pertussis (whooping cough), including why it continues to cause concern, epidemiology, clinical characteristics, diagnosis, prevention strategies, and management of suspected cases. Pertussis is highly contagious and can cause severe illness in infants too young to be vaccinated. Vaccination of pregnant women is recommended to provide passive immunity to infants. Combination vaccines like DTaP and Tdap and strategies like "cocooning" aim to strengthen immunity in populations at high risk of exposure and infection.
Rational use of drugs part i how do drugs work.ppt33
The document discusses several mechanisms by which drugs can produce their effects in the body, including inhibiting enzymes, ion channels, transporters, and signal transduction proteins; activating enzymes, cell surface receptors, nuclear receptors, and ion channels; and unconventional mechanisms like disrupting structural proteins, acting as enzymes, covalently binding to macromolecules, and reacting chemically with small molecules. Many clinically important drug classes are provided as examples for each mechanism.

Management of LOW BIRTH WEIGHT BABY
Premature birth and low birth weight (LBW) are still major health problems associated with high morbidity and mortality. While medical advances have increased LBW survival, these infants remain at high risk for long-term neurocognitive deficits. LBW is defined as birth weight under 2500g and can be due to prematurity or intrauterine growth restriction. Management of LBW infants focuses on providing warmth, proper feeding, and treatment of any complications through interventions like kangaroo mother care, antibiotics for infection, and monitoring for issues such as respiratory distress, hypoglycemia, or hyperbilirubinemia. The goal is optimal growth and development for these high-risk newborns.
Diss brief final
The document discusses two case studies of office interiors - Google's office in Zurich, Switzerland and India Glycols Limited's office in Noida, India.
Google's office was designed to foster creativity and innovation through colorful and playful design that encourages employees to take breaks and utilize various amenities. India Glycols office focuses on bringing natural light into the workspace and utilizes sustainable practices but lacks additional amenities and communal spaces compared to Google.
A questionnaire found that while India Glycols employees were satisfied with basic amenities like a gym, they were less engaged than Google employees who rated their work environment and culture more highly due to additional perks and an emphasis on work-life balance.
Nursing care of ELBW and LBW babies
This topic was presented by me in Neonatal Nursing Workshop in GUJNEOCON' 14. This presentation highlights some issues in the management of extremely low birth weight babies (<1000gm) from Nursing care point of view. Transport, Aseptic precautions, feeding issues are important aspects of cere which are not discussed here because were discussed by others. I had mainly focused on delivery room management, temperature and humidity maintenance, skin care and develpmental care because these are important aspects of ELBW care but often neglected.
Care of preterm babies
This document discusses the care of preterm babies. Key points include:
- Preterm babies are born before 37 weeks gestation and have low birth weight, immature organ systems, and are susceptible to complications.
- Care involves temperature regulation, appropriate feeding, monitoring for complications like respiratory distress and infections.
- Feeding may begin with intravenous fluids or a nasogastric tube and progress to breastfeeding. Nutritional needs for protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals must be met.
- Ongoing monitoring of vital signs and development is needed to detect any issues and provide appropriate treatment and care. Immunizations should also be given according to schedule.

Prof Joy Lawn @ MRF's Meningitis and Septicaemia 2019
This document summarizes a presentation on neonatal meningitis and sepsis survivors. The key points are:
1. Survivors of neonatal meningitis and sepsis often experience long-term neurological impairments. Studies find moderate to severe impairment in 18-23% of survivors.
2. There are significant gaps in data on the true burden of neonatal infections due to limitations in care access, clinical assessment, laboratory testing, and long-term follow up in low-resource settings. This impacts estimates of impairment rates.
3. Improving data through strengthened health systems, innovative diagnostics, expanded cohort studies, and better impairment measures is needed to close these gaps and better support survivors long-term.

This study examined 100 under-5 children with protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) admitted to a hospital in Nigeria to determine the prevalence of HIV infection. The researchers found that 27% of the children with PEM were HIV positive. The highest prevalence of HIV infection was among those with the subtype of PEM known as marasmus (65% prevalence). All of the HIV-positive children were younger than 3 years old and acquired HIV infection from their mothers via mother-to-child transmission. The study highlights the need for increased HIV screening among under-5 children presenting with PEM, especially marasmus, given the high prevalence found.

This randomized controlled trial evaluated the efficacy of isoniazid prophylaxis in preventing tuberculosis in HIV-infected and HIV-exposed uninfected children in South Africa. 548 HIV-infected and 804 HIV-uninfected infants aged 3-4 months were randomized to receive either isoniazid or placebo for 96 weeks. The primary outcomes were tuberculosis-free survival in HIV-infected children and tuberculosis infection-free survival in HIV-uninfected children. There was no significant difference in the primary outcomes between the isoniazid and placebo groups for both HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected children. The burden of tuberculosis remained high among HIV-infected children despite antiretroviral therapy.
Bacteriological profile of childhood sepsis at a tertiary health centre in so...
Introduction: Sepsis is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children worldwide, even more so in developing countries. Knowledge of common pathogens and their antibiotic susceptibility pattern is useful for guiding initial treatment while awaiting blood culture results. Objective:To determine the major causative organisms and their antibiotic sensitivity pattern of childhood sepsis at the Niger Delta University TeachingHospital (NDUTH), with the aim of revising existing treatment protocols. Methods: Within a 2 year period (1st January 2014 to 31st December 2015) blood culture results of children with clinical suspicion of sepsis were retrospectively studied. Results:During the study period, 116 (12.11%) of the 958 children admitted into the Children Emergency Ward had blood culture tests. Thirty one (26.72%) had positive blood cultures.Eighteen (58.06%) of the organisms were gram positive while thirteen (41.93%) were gram negative. The predominant organism was Staphylococcus aureus in 16 (51.61%) followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae in 5 (16.13%) patients. The bacterial isolates demonstrated the highest sensitivity to the quinolones. Conclusion:There is need for periodic surveillance of the causative organisms and antibiotic susceptibility pattern of childhood sepsis to guide effective management of patients.

Sepsis neonatal manejo antimicrobiano ideal
This document summarizes key information about neonatal sepsis:
1. Neonatal sepsis is infection in infants less than 28 days old that can cause systemic infection, circulatory shock, and organ failure. Common bacteria include Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.
2. Risk factors include prolonged hospitalization and use of central venous catheters. Immediate treatment with antibiotics is critical.
3. Blood culture remains the diagnostic standard, but neonates often show only subtle signs initially, like feeding intolerance or abnormal vital signs, making early recognition difficult. A high index of suspicion is important.

The delta variant doesn’t appear to pose a greater risk to young children than other variants of the coronavirus.
sepsis neonatal
- Early-onset neonatal sepsis remains a common cause of morbidity and mortality in preterm infants, despite improved obstetric management and antibiotic use.
- The signs and symptoms of neonatal sepsis are nonspecific, and diagnostic tests have poor predictive accuracy, so clinicians often treat infants empirically even when cultures are negative.
- The optimal treatment for suspected early-onset sepsis is broad-spectrum antibiotics like ampicillin and an aminoglycoside, though therapy should be narrowed once a pathogen is identified or discontinued by 48 hours if sepsis is deemed unlikely.
Rsv ( dr okasha)
RSV is a common virus that causes respiratory infections in children. It is spread through respiratory droplets. While RSV symptoms are usually mild, it can progress to bronchiolitis or pneumonia in some cases. Premature infants, those with chronic lung disease or congenital heart disease are at highest risk of severe RSV infection. RSV is the most common cause of bronchiolitis in children under 1 year of age and a major cause of hospitalization in infants. It poses a significant disease burden as it accounts for many emergency department visits, hospital admissions, and intensive care unit admissions in young children each year.

IPD and pneumonia are important causes of disease in children in Bangalore, India. A study found the highest incidence of IPD was 46.01 per 100,000 in children 6-12 months. Pneumonia was the most common presentation of IPD. The incidence of clinical and radiological pneumonia was highest in children under 6 months at 4,800.88 and 1,771.32 per 100,000 respectively. Salmonella was the most common pathogen isolated. S. pneumoniae serotype distribution and antibiotic resistance was also examined.
Exclusive Breastfeeding Reduces Acute Respiratory Infection And Diarrhea
This study examined the relationship between breastfeeding practices and infant mortality in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The researchers followed over 1600 infants from birth to 12 months. They found that exclusive breastfeeding declined from 53% at 1 month to 5% at 6 months. Partial or no breastfeeding was associated with a 2-3 times higher risk of infant death from all causes, acute respiratory infection (ARI), and diarrhea compared to exclusive breastfeeding. The study suggests that exclusive breastfeeding in early infancy reduces infant mortality, particularly from ARI and diarrhea.

This study was done to carry out a survey of Human Parainfluenza Virus in children aged 1-12years
in Kaduna Metropolis, Nigeria using the Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay Diagnostic kits. Of the 376
samples tested for IgG antibody of HPIV 1, 2 and 3, 288 were seropositive (76.6%). Risk and demographic
factors such as age of the children parental occupation, parental educational status, vitamin A deficiency,
frequency of eating, household size, duration of breastfeeding, environmental smoke, respiratory symptoms,
fever, sickle cell and underlying diseases were analysed. Age (χ2=17.408, p=0.001), parental occupation
(χ2=10.116, p=0.039), duration of breastfeeding (χ2=8.439, p=0.015), presence of respiratory symptoms
(χ2=5.116, p=0.024) were significantly associated with the infection. Observation from the study showed the
importance of Human Parainfluenza Virus as an agent of respiratory tract infection in children. As antiviral
drugs are not readily available, preventive measures should be adhered to in the control of the infection.

1) The study evaluated the efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of the RTS,S/AS01 malaria vaccine in young infants and children across 11 sites in Africa.
2) The vaccine provided protection against clinical and severe malaria in children aged 5-17 months, with efficacy of 40-46% against clinical malaria. Efficacy was lower in young infants at 27%.
3) Vaccine efficacy waned over time in both children and infants. Safety profiles were similar between vaccine and control groups.
Management of newborn infant born to mother suffering from
Indian J Med Res 140, July 2014, pp 32-39 reviews current recommendations for managing newborn infants born to mothers with tuberculosis. There is no uniform consensus across different countries. Congenital tuberculosis is diagnosed using Cantwell criteria and treated with a 3-4 drug regimen for 9-12 months. Prophylaxis with isoniazid for 3-6 months is recommended for infants born to infectious mothers. Breastfeeding is recommended and isolation is only needed if the mother has multidrug resistant TB or is non-adherent to treatment. The BCG vaccine is given at birth or after prophylaxis completion. Guidelines vary on prophylaxis duration and dose, and timing of diagnostic tests.
13 valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (pcv13) r mm5909
Among 427 cases of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in children under 5 years old in the US in 2007:
- 64% (274 cases) were caused by serotypes contained in the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13).
- 95% (260 cases) of those were caused by 3 additional serotypes not included in PCV7.
- 42% (180 cases) overall were caused by serotype 19A alone.
- An estimated 4,600 total cases of IPD occurred in this age group in 2007, including approximately 2,900 cases that could potentially be prevented by PCV13.
Anemia gestacional
This randomized controlled trial compared higher versus lower hemoglobin thresholds for red blood cell transfusions in extremely preterm infants weighing 1000g or less. The trial involved 1824 infants from 19 centers. The primary outcome was death or neurodevelopmental impairment at 22-26 months, corrected age. There was no significant difference between the higher and lower threshold groups for the primary outcome or other secondary outcomes such as death rates, complications, or neurodevelopmental scores. The trial found that a higher hemoglobin threshold for transfusions did not improve outcomes for extremely preterm infants.

The study evaluated the safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine (BNT162b2) in adolescents ages 12-15. Over 2,000 adolescents received two doses of either the vaccine or placebo. The vaccine had a favorable safety profile with mainly mild or moderate side effects. It produced a greater immune response in 12-15 year olds compared to young adults. Among participants without prior COVID-19 infection, no cases of COVID-19 occurred in the vaccine group 7 days after the second dose, compared to 16 cases in the placebo group, indicating 100% efficacy of the vaccine.
Sepsis neo precoz
This document discusses the management of neonates with suspected or proven early-onset bacterial sepsis. It provides guidance for clinicians on identifying neonates at high risk for sepsis, distinguishing those who require treatment from healthy-appearing infants, and determining when antimicrobial therapy can be discontinued. The challenges include promptly initiating therapy for infants likely to have sepsis, avoiding unnecessary treatment, and stopping treatment once sepsis is deemed unlikely. The document aims to offer an evidence-based, practical approach to diagnosis and management of early-onset sepsis in newborns.

- 1. NEURODEVELOPMENTAL OUTCOME OF EXTREMELY LOW BIRTH WEIGHT INFANTS WITH CANDIDA INFECTION Source: The Journal of Pediatrics Presented by: Juan Carlos Leon
- 2. Candida remains an important cause of lateonset infection in preterm infants. Mortality and neurodevelopmental outcome of extremely low birth weight (ELBW < 1000g) infants enrolled in the Candida study were evaluated based on infection status. STUDY
- 3. ELBW infants born between March 2004 and July 2007 at Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Neonatal Research Network (NRN) Screened for suspected sepsis were eligible for inclusion in the Candida study. Primary outcome data for neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) or death were available for 1317 of the 1515 infants (87%) enrolled in the Candida study. The Bayley Scales of Infant Development-II or -III was administered at 18 months’ adjusted age. A secondary comparison was performed with 864 infants enrolled in the NRN Generic Database during the same cohort who were never screened for sepsis and therefore not eligible for the Candida study. DESIGN
- 4. ELBW infants enrolled in the Candida study, 31% with Candida and 31% with late-onset non-Candida sepsis had NDI at 18 months. Infants with Candida sepsis and/or meningitis had an increased risk of death and were more likely to have the composite outcome of death and/or NDI compared with uninfected infants in adjusted analysis. The 105 infants with Candida were more likely to have moderate to severe cerebral palsy (CP) and neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) compared with uninfected infants Meningitis was defined as a positive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) culture for Candida or bacterial organisms RESULTS
- 5. In this cohort of ELBW infants, those with infection and/or meningitis were at increased risk for death and/or NDI. This risk was highest among those with Candida sepsis and/or meningitis. (J Pediatr 2013;163:961-67). Preterm infants are predisposed to Candida infections because of immaturity of their immune system and invasive interventions. Transmission of Candida may be vertical (from maternal vaginal infection). All extremely preterm infant survivors have a substantial likelihood of developing moderate to severe NDI. NDI declines with increasing of gestation CONCLUSION
