Eleven infants with severe protracted diarrhea were studied. All of them were treated with cholestyramine, 2 g/kg/day in three or four doses. Feces became normal in two to four days in ten out of eleven infants. Tolerance to cholestyramine was good. Fat balance was performed in five patients showing steatorrhea in all of them, ranging from 15 to 42%. Reduction in resin doses was followed by normal fat excretion. Three infants died. One of them did not show improvement with cholestyramine therapy and developed Salmonella typhimurium sepsis. The other two, even though they normalized their stools, died because of Salmonella typhimurium and bacteroides sepsis respectively.

The poor prognosis of infections associated with multidrug-resistant can be attributed to several conditions of the patient and virulence factors of the pathogen, such as the type III secretion system (T3SS), which presents the ability to inject four effectors into the host cell: ExoS, ExoT, ExoU and ExoY. The aim of this study was to analyze the distribution of genes through multiplex polymerase chain reaction in strains isolated from patients at a third-level pediatric hospital and their relationships with clinical variables, e.g.

Lip ulcers associated with endotracheal tube fixation are a known complication in adults, but their prevalence in neonates and preterm infants remains unclear. We report a case of a right oral commissure ulcer that developed during endotracheal tube fixation at the right oral commissure and left lateral decubitus positioning in an extremely preterm infant with unilateral pulmonary interstitial emphysema (PIE). A male infant was born at 24 weeks and four days of gestation, weighing 696 gm.
