S. typhi-murium meningitis in a premature infant during the neonatal period.

Salmonella typhi murium meningitis in an infant. Case report.

Further Studies on IV-Variants of Salmonella typhi-murium (Aertrycke) with Special Reference to Cultures from Pigeons.

Landsteiner and Levine (1932) were the first workers to note that certain cultures of Salmonella typhi-murium were devoid of antigen V of the Kauffmann-White schema. They noted this deficiency in the Binns strain of Schiitze (1920). Kauffmann (1934) examined 256 cultures of S. typhi-murium and found 16 of them lacking in antigen V. The cultures exhibiting this peculiar deficiency in their somat...

Causes of Neonatal Deaths in a Rural Subdistrict of Bangladesh: Implications for Intervention

The study assessed the timing and causes of neonatal deaths in a rural area of Bangladesh. A population-based demographic surveillance system, run by the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh, recorded livebirths and neonatal deaths during 2003-2004 among a population of 224,000 living in Matlab, a rural subdistrict of eastern Bangladesh. Deaths were investigated usin...

Neonatal meningitis caused by Citrobacter koseri.

Three cases of neonatal meningitis, two of which were fatal, occurred in a premature baby unit during a period of one week. A fourth case occurred in the same unit six months later. Citrobacter koseri was isolated from the cerebrospinal fluid of all four cases. Detailed biochemical and serological examination of the organisms showed that two distinct bioserotypes were involved.

The Effect of Abdominal Touch on Nutritional Tolerance in Premature Infants: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trail

Background The most common cause of death during neonatal period is prematurity. Nutritional tolerance is very important in this period. If during this period the problems of feeding the preterm infant are not resolved, chronic disorder occurs in normal growth. Materials and Methods In this randomized controlledclinical trial we selected 60 preterm infants in the neonatal intensive care unit...
