hi In our service we are reviewing the indications for percutaneous venous catheter placement. Now, we are only using them for parenteral nutrition, but we are looking for information for use in case we need prolonged treatments (more than 4-5 days ,eg 10 days antibiotics).

what do you think ? In our unit ,We are beginning to use PICC ( but we do not have much experience yet ) and want to make a protocol to treat the infant of the diabetic mother. Do you use umbilical via (probably will not for long) or PICC (course if required). Thanks in advance

sorry, perhaps "undeterminated" could be a borderline FTA-ABS test but as shown in the article this would happen in early syphilis. thanks

thank you very much for information and reviews ,to complicate things even more, we received the first FTA negative (first pregnancy itwo years ago, VDRL + ) but now the result is "indeterminated " (?) . We request a new FTA. false positive VDRL ? thanks

hi all It´s basic, but this always generates discussion in our service. the patient is 35 weeks pregnant, one single control, VDRL 1/16 FTA abs positive, our discussion is ,if we should consider it a previous serologic title or indicate benzathine penicillin. If the birth occurs before the month, the infant shoud be treated ? and to end , do you have experience in the use of benzathine penicillin en the neonate ? I hope your answers as soon as possible thanks in advance
