OBJECTIVETo study the clinical characteristics, antibiotics sensitivity, outcome and risk factors of neonatal septicemia caused by Candida haemulonii.
METHODA retrospective analysis was performed on clinical characteristics and antibiotics sensitivity after 8 cases of neonatal septicemia caused by Candida haemulonii were identified; each of these patients had at least one positive result of bacterial culture for Candida haemulonii.
RESULTThe 8 cases born at gestational age of 178-260 d, weighing 835-2 055 g, developed the infection from May to July at 10-34 d after hospitalization. Among the 8 patients, 7 were cured, 1 died during hospitalization after the treatments were given up because of serious complications. The 8 patients with septicemia caused by Candida haemulonii had similar clinical chariacteristics to those of other neonatal candidemia, such as apnea, fever, abdominal distension, jaundice etc. They had abnormal auxiliary examination with increased C-reactive protein (CRP), declined platelet (PLT) count to different degrees. All of the 8 patients had peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) and broad-spectrum antibiotics were applied. C. haemulonii as an emergent fungal pathogen had varying degrees of resistance to fluconazole, amphotericin B, itraconazole, or ketone, but was susceptible to voriconazole.
CONCLUSIONThe characteristics of neonatal septicemia caused by Candida haemulonii were similar to those caused by other candida, and the main risk factors are the low birth weight, PICC, and usage of broad-spectrum antibiotics. It mainly occurred in May to July which is hot and humid season.

Objective:To analyze the short-term and medium-term survival status of children with congenital esophageal atresia, and to provide reference for clinical multidisciplinary management of children with congenital esophageal atresia.Methods:The clinical data of neonates with type Ⅲ congenital esophageal atresia who were operated in our hospital between November 2007 to November 2018 and followed up in this hospital were analyzed retrospectively.Results:Among the 62 cases, 16 cases were discharged automatically, 1 case died, and 45 cases were included in the short-term follow-up. 35 cases were classified as gross Ⅲa, 10 as Ⅲb, 5 as long segment type, 44 patients accepted one-stage surgery, 1 infant accepted delayed operation, 9 infants received second operations. Anastomotic leakage occurred in 8 cases (17.8%), anastomotic stenosis in 11 cases (24.4%), recurrence of tracheoesophageal fistula in 2 cases (4.4%), blood flow infection in 14 cases(31.1%), incision infection in 4 cases (8.9%). The medium-term survival status of 38 cases: 2 cases died of aspiration, 29 cases (76.3%) of anastomotic stenosis underwent esophageal dilatation, 5 cases (13.2%) of dysphagia when 1.5 years old, 6 cases (15.8%) of malnutrition. After multidisciplinary collaboration, the survival rate increased (57.1% vs. 85.3%, P=0.013), and the incidence of anastomotic leakage decreased (46.4% vs. 20.6%, P=0.03). Conclusion:The quality of life of children with congenital esophageal atresia can be improved by multidisciplinary cooperation and standardized postoperative follow-up.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of neonatal meningitis caused by Mycoplasma hominis. Methods:We present the clinical data, diagnosis and treatment of a premature infant with Mycoplasma hominis meningitis who was admitted to the Department of Neonatology, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University in June 2020. Relevant literature up to May 2021 was retrieved with the strategy of "( Mycoplasma hominis) AND (meningitis OR central nervous system OR cerebrospinal fluid) AND (newborn)" from CNKI, Wanfang, and PubMed database. The clinical manifestations, examinations, diagnosis, treatments and prognosis of cases with complete clinical data were summarized using two-sample rank sum test. Results:A premature female infant at gestational age of 27 +4 weeks presented with repeated low-grade fever and apnea since the 7 days of life. Cerebrospinal fluid testing in a local hospital showed neutrophil-based leukocytosis, which indicated purulent meningitis. However, empiric antibiotic treatment did not improve the infant's condition. The patient was transferred to our hospital due to dyspnea for 32 days and repeated fever for 25 days. Mycoplasma hominis was detected from the cerebrospinal fluid samples using metagenomic next generation sequencing (NGS). Treatment with erythromycin was ineffective, but the patient improved and discharged after changing to chloramphenicol for 18 d without any side effects. A total of 21 English articles were retrieved, and no Chinese literature was retrieved, involving 22 infants. Of the 23 cases including the present case, 14 were preterm, eight were term and one with no available data; 19 were born by vaginal delivery; the median age of onset was 11.0 d ( P25- P75: 7.0-18.0 d). The initial symptoms included fever, convulsions, irritability, and apnea. Blood routine examination showed elevated white blood cell count in ten cases and elevated C-reactive protein in seven cases. In the cerebrospinal fluid testing, white blood cell count increased in 19 cases, protein increased in 20 cases, and glucose decreased in 13 cases. Eight cases were confirmed by 16S RNA polymerase chain reaction amplification technology, seven by serum antibodies test, two cases by culture and microscopic findings, two cases by culture alone, one case by Mycoplasma kit, and one by NGS. The main treatment was the administration of tetracyclines, quinolones, chloramphenicol, lincosamides, etc. (alone or in combination). Two cases improved without using special anti- Mycoplasma drugs. Of the 23 patients, 15 had hydrocephalus, eight had intracranial hemorrhage, four had cerebral ischemic infarction, and two had cerebral abscess. Four cases had good prognosis,16 cases had adverse prognosis, and other three without available data. The median time to start sensitive antibiotic therapy in children with good prognosis was 4.5 d(3.6-5.0 d) after diagnosis, which was earlier than that in children with adverse prognosis [16.8 d (7.0-25.0 d)]( Z=-2.27, P=0.023). Conclusions:Mycoplasma hominis infection has non-specific clinical manifestations and should be considered for infants with intracranial infection that is not responding to empirical antibiotic treatment. NGS is helpful in detecting Mycoplasma hominis and chloramphenicol can be an option for the treatment.

Objective:To study the clinical characteristics of purulent meningitis complicated with hydrocephalus in neonates, and to analyze the risk factors of the disease.Methods:Neonates diagnosed with purulent meningitis complicated with hydrocephalus who hospitalized in the department of neonatology of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from January 2002 to August 2021 were selected as the case group. Neonates with positive pathogen cultures but no hydrocephalus during the same period were assigned by random number table method as the control group. The ratio of the control group and the case group was 2 ∶1. The clinical data such as bacteria distribution, cranial imaging, therapy and prognosis were compared between the two groups. The risk factors for hydrocephalus were predicted. Statistical analysis was conducted using chi-square test and multiple logistic regression analysis.Results:There were 33 cases in the case group and 66 cases in the control group. A total of 27 cases had confirmed pathogen results, of which 20 cases (74.1%) were Gram-negative bacteria and seven cases (25.9%) were Gram-positive bacteria. The time of diagnosis for hydrocephalus were 13.0(5.5, 28.5) days after the onset. Twenty-six cases received non-surgical treatment, while seven cases received surgery. The cure rate of case group was 42.4%(14/33), which was lower than that of control group (72.7%, 48/66), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=8.63, P=0.003). Univariate analysis showed that the incidences of protein>3 g/L in cerebrospinal fluid, glucose<2 mmol/L in cerebrospinal fluid, convulsions, central respiratory failure, intracranial hemorrhage and encephalomalacia in the case group were all higher than those in the control group, with statistical significance ( χ2=19.72, 12.04, 19.04, 5.73, 11.85 and 17.48, respectively, all P<0.050). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that convulsions (odds ratio ( OR)=4.476, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 1.091 to 18.363, P=0.037), intracranial hemorrhage ( OR=8.031, 95% CI 1.894 to 34.059, P=0.005) and encephalomalacia ( OR=35.189, 95% CI 2.954 to 419.150, P=0.005) were risk factors for neonatal purulent meningitis complicated with hydrocephalus. Conclusions:Gram-negative bacteria are common pathogen of neonatal purulent meningitis complicated with hydrocephalus. Convulsions, intracranial hemorrhage and encephalomalacia are important predictors for neonatal purulent meningitis complicated with hydrocephalus.
