BACKGROUND Approximately 826,000 children, mostly young infants, die annually from invasive pneumococcal disease. A 6-10-14-week schedule of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) is efficacious but neonatal PCV may provide earlier protection and better coverage. We conducted an open randomized controlled trial in Papua New Guinea to compare safety, immunogenicity and priming for memory of 7-vale...

In this case, we explore physician conflict with performing surgery (tracheostomy) for long-term ventilation in a term infant trisomy 18 and respiratory failure. Experts neonatal-perinatal medicine, pediatric bioethics, palliative care have provided comments on case. An additional commentary was written by the parent of another 18, who is also medical provider (physical therapist).

The case study offered here provides an overview of an infant with this diagnosis who lived for 88.5 days in a Level III neonatal intensive care unit. Care decisions (medical and basic care) and their outcomes are described along with implications for care for infants with a diagnosis often characterized a...
