The unfinished work of neonatal very low birthweight infants quality improvement: Improving outcomes at a continental level in South America

The unfinished work of neonatal very low birthweight infants quality improvement: Improving outcomes at a continental level in South America

Prematuros

Neonatal mortality rate varies between 4.2 and 18.6 per thousand by country in South America. There is little information regarding the outcomes of very low birth weight infants in the region and mortality rates are extremely variable ranging from 6% to over 50%. This group may represent up to 50?70% of the neonatal mortality and approximately 25?30% of infant mortality. Some initiatives, like the NEOCOSUR Network, have systematically collected and analyzed epidemiological information on VLBW infants? outcomes in the region. Over a 16-year period, survival without major morbidity improved from 37 to 44%. However, mortality has remained almost unchanged at approximately 27%, despite an increase in the implementation of the best available evidence in perinatal practices over time. Implementing quality improvement initiatives in the continent is particularly challenging but represents a great opportunity considering that there is a wide margin for progress in both care and outcomes.

Trichosporon asahii late onset sepsis in an extremely low birth weight infant

Infecciones

Abstract We describe a case of Trichosporon asahii late-onset sepsis in an extremely low birth weight infant from our neonatal intensive care unit. The baby presented early neutropenia and received therapy with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor. At day of life 8 he showed clinical signs of sepsis. Forty-eight hours after beginning of symptoms, blood culture developed T. asahii. Baby responded to treatment with liposomal amphotericin B. The aim of this report is to discuss a case of late onset sepsis in an immuno-compromised patient due to an unusual pathogen, with variable or intrinsic resistance to the most commonly used antifungal therapies. Appropriate use of antifungal in this vulnerable population is of pivotal importance for both treatment and prevention of infection.
