Posted April 18, 201311 yr 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, Fernando Agama C. Unidad de NeonatologĂa Hospital "Dr. Enrique GarcĂ©s" Quito-Ecuador

I would not use oral antibiotics in a sick neoante. I would hunt for alternative parenteral antibiotics. Best wishes Keep us informed
