Early initiation of antibiotic therapy and short-term outcomes in preterm infants: a single-centre retrospective cohort analysis.

Background: Sepsis is one of the most important complications in preterm infants. For this reason, many such infants receive antibiotics during their hospital stay. However, early antibiotic therapy has also been associated with adverse outcome.

Diffuse Unilateral Subacute Neuroretinitis Caused by Ancylostoma Hookworm.

Diffuse unilateral subacute neuroretinitis is an ocular infectious disease caused by several distinct nematodes. Definite identification of the involved nematodes is rarely achieved. We report on the molecular-based genetic identification of an Ancylostoma ceylanicum hookworm implicated in a case of diffuse unilateral subacute neuroretinitis in a child.
