[Diagnosis and treatment of infections in a neonatal unit--bacterial and fungal infections].
Following an outbreak of Candida septicemia in our intensive care nursery we reviewed our routines for diagnosis and treatment of neonatal infections. The revision resulted in a set of written guidelines for septic work-ups, initiation and discontinuation of antibiotic therapy, and choice of antibiotics. In this article we present the guidelines for dealing with bacterial and fungal infections, along with relevant comments.
