Cryptococcus laurentii fungemia in a low birth weight preterm neonate: India

The purpose of this study was to determine the nutritional status of preterm neonates when discharged from the hospital. A descriptive study was reviewed from the register of preterm neonate after hospitalization in neonatal ward Sanglah Hospital Denpasar. The number of total samples in this study was 190 patients. Most of the preterm neonates in this study were low birth weight (59.47%). At the beginning of the hospitalization, there were 83.86% preterm neonates with good nutritional status, decreased to 54.73% at discharge from the hospital. The group of neonates that had the highest number of decreases in the good nutritional status at discharge was found in 28-32 weeks gestational age. Most of the samples used breast milk for enteral feeding (68,42%). In preterm neonates with sepsis, only 42.52% neonates discharge with good nutritional status. Low birth weight preterm neonates with kangaroo method care were found increased weight gain in 78.57% neonates. The nutritional status of preterm neonates following hospitalization at Sanglah hospital is still not good. The preterm neonates with good nutritional status were decreased at discharge from the hospital.

AbstractThe authors describe successful balloon angioplasty of aortic coarctation in a preterm neonate weighing 670 grams. The intervention was performed in an open incubator to ensure stable temperature comfort and to minimise the risk of hypothermia during the procedure of obtaining surgical vessel access, performing balloon angioplasty, and closure of the wound.

ABSTRACTHypotension is common in low birth weight neonates and less common in term newborns and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Determining an adequate blood pressure in neonates remains challenging for the neonatal nurse because of the lack of agreed-upon norms. Values for determining norms for blood pressure at varying gestational and postnatal ages are based on empirical data. Understanding cardiovascular pathophysiology, potential causes of hypotension, and assessment of adequate perfusion in the neonatal population is important and can assist the neonatal nurse in the evaluation of effective blood pressure. This article reviews cardiovascular pathophysiology as it relates to blood pressure and discusses potential causes of hypotension in the term and preterm neonate. Variation in management of hypotension across centers is discussed. Underlying causes and pathophysiology of hypotension in the neonate are described.

Acute Meningitis

Central nervous system infections caused byBacillus cereushave rarely been reported in infants. In this paper, the case of a 2-month-old low-birth-weight female who developed meningitis 45 days after resolution of a bloodstream infection (BSI) is described. The pulsed-field gel electrophoresis results revealed that the patterns of bothB. cereusisolates responsible for the acute meningitis and for the prior bacteraemic episode were closely related. Although the source of the infection from within the patient was not clear, it is suggested that theB. cereusBSI developed in the neonate was complicated by acute meningitis.
