Necrotizing enterocolitis in the preterm: newborns medical and nutritional Management in a Single-Center Study

AbstractNecrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a typical disorder of preterm newborns, with a high mortality and morbidity rate. The therapeutic and nutritional management of disease depends on several factors. Its prognosis is linked, in addition to the severity of the disease and the need for surgery, to a correct enteral feeding in these patients. This study aims to identify the clinical characteristics of 18 patients with NEC, evaluating the different therapeutic paths undertaken, the type of formula used and the survival rate of this population. Average time of enteral nutrition before the NEC onset was 11,3 ± 11,6 days, with an average fasting period since the onset of 24 ± 18.9 days. 77.…
Candida Albicans congenital infection in a preterm newborn
1997
Intrauterine infections may be due to a variety of pathogens other than the TORCH groups ones. Although Candida Albicans is frequently isolated within the urogenital tract of pregnant women, the fetal infection is rarely reported. We now report on a 26 weeks preterm baby in whom a Candida infection was diagnosed at birth in relation to gravidic anamnesis and typical micotic manifestations upon the placenta and the umbilical cord. Intensive cares and pharmacological treatment induced a progressive improvement of the clinical course and normalization of the laboratory parameters.
