ABSTRACT

This is a clinical case presentation of a full term newborn infant who suffered severe hyponatremia and early seizures, associated with maternal fluid overload with electrolyte free solutions and high doses of oxytocin for labor augmentation. Although this condition has been recognized since the 1960's with isolated reports, this particular case has features that needs further investigation, not only for the unsually severe hyponatremia, but most importantly we think, for the prominent signs of fluid retention, the infant had, that suggest excessive antidiuretic activity probably due to oxytocin. These findings are consistent with syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone. Although until now there is no proof that oxytocin by itself produces this syndrome. We think the association is possible in certain clinical circumstances, such as those found in this case. We also, briefly discussed the pathophysiology of perinatal hyponatremia, the neonatal treatment of this condition and the current guidelines for the women in labor. Hyponatremia should not be considered a benign condition, since in the neonate, it may affect brain function.

ABSTRACT

We present a full-term female infant with congenital candidiasis characterized by extensive vesicular and pustular skin lesions associated with pneumonia and severe respiratory distress that appeared during the first hours after birth. The patient was born by cesarean section with no history of rupture of membranes. The mother had a vaginal discharge 3 weeks before delivery. The diagnosis was made by culture of pustular fluid, which grew Candida albicans. Systemic cultures were negative. The infant required a very brief course of conventional mechanical ventilation in spite of impressive and extensive lung infiltrates on the chest radiograph. She made a very quick clinical recovery although it is remarkable that antifungal treatment with amphotericin B was begun very late in her clinical course at the time when she was showing obvious signs of major improvement. Current management guidelines strongly recommend specific therapy for infants with invasive congenital candidiasis or with burn-like extensive dermatitis even without lung involvement. We are not suggesting any change in these recommendations; however, at least in our patient, when amphotericin B was started, she was clearly recovering; it seems possible that her disease although extensive might have experienced an unusual spontaneous regression. This case can provide further insights into this unusual neonatal infection.

ABSTRACT

En un grupo de 50 recién nacidos de término, con asfixia grave al nacer, definida por un pH de arteria umbilical igual o menor de 7.10, se evaluaron las complicaciones sistémicas agudas, los antecedentes perinatales y se correlacionó el pH de cordón con la calificación de Apgar. En 56 por ciento de los casos, no se detectó la asfixia antes del nacimiento; la causa más frecuente de ella fue el trabajo de parto o periodo expulsivo prolongado, seguida del desprendimiento prematuro de placenta. El riñón y el sistema nervioso central se afectaron en casi la mitad de los casos; un 24 por ciento de los neonatos tuvieron enfermedad pulmonar grave, un porcentaje similar tuvo afectación cardiovascular y 44 por ciento tuvo hipocalcemia. No hubo correlación entre calificación de Apgar y pH de cordón. La mortalidad fue de 22 por ciento y su causa principal fue la Hipertensión Pulmonar persistente

ABSTRACT

El presente estudio incluyó doce recién nacido prematuros con perforaciones gastrointestinales "espontáneas", estudiados retrospectivamente durante tres años. Se encontró que le problema fue más frecuente en niños extremadamente prematuros con síndrome de dificultad respiratoria y persistencia de conducto arterioso. Se hizo correlación anatomo patológiuca con las biopsias o estudios post-mortem y se sugiere que las perforaciones intestinales "espontáneas" probablemante representan una forma de enterocolitis necrosante. perforación intestinal; enterocolitis necrosante; recién nacido

ABSTRACT

Se presenta el análisis de 15 pacientes con candidiasis sistémica (CS) en una unidad de cuidado intensivo neonatal, dos de ellos diagnosticados en autopsia. La mayoría fueron productos pretérmino con peso menor de 2000 g, estancia hospitalaria prolongada y tuvieron antecedentes de catéter umbilical o venoso central, alimentación parenteral, asistencia a la ventilación, infecciones bacterianas a distintos niveles y uso de múltiples antimicrobianos. Los sitios de donde se aisló Candida albicans con más frecuencia fueron orina y sangre. Como tratamiento se empleó amfotericina, ketoconazole o ambos y la sobrevida fue del 60%, la cual es aceptable y similar a estudios recientes. Se considera que el diagnóstico de CS es difícil y a veces tardía. Debe sospecharse en un neonato pretérmino con uno o más de los factores predisponentes y que además presente signología de septicemia y no responda a los antimicrobianos o bien, se le demuestre el hongo en orina o en cualquier otro sitio
