Hello, an affectionate greeting.

I would like to know if anyone has experience with the use of Sulfamethoxazole + Trimethoprim in newborns. In our NICU we have a blood culture which grew Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia that is sensitive to this product.

Sincerely,

We had the same problems few years back. We had about 10 preter

Infants over about 4 months. All cases wrere treated successfully with I V preparationd with careful follow up of bilirubin levels

we had similar problem and they responded well to co-trimoxazole therapy.

Thanks for responding for all.

Unfortunately there is no intravenous cotrimoxazole Ecuador. Any experience with the oral preparation?

Atentamente,

Fernando Agama C.

You should find these relevant.

I would not use oral antibiotics in a sick neoante. I would hunt for alternative parenteral antibiotics.

Best wishes

Keep us informed
