“What’s New in Neonatal Infectious Diseases?
Infections are an important cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality.
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is the most common intrauterine
infection and is a major cause of deafness and neurologic
abnormalities. Herpes Simplex virus (HSV) infections in the neonate
are uncommon but may cause significant morbidity, however
management of asymptomatic infants potentially exposed to HSV at
delivery is a common situation. Hospitalized neonates are at risk for
bacterial infections due, in part, to weak immune defenses and invasive
procedures. The emergence of multidrug resistant organisms (MDRO)
as pathogens in neonatal infections is of great concern. This session will
present updated approaches to prevention and treatment of both CMV
and HSV infections and prevention and management of MDRO in the
NICU.

Section on Perinatal Pediatrics Program
“Medication Considerations in Neonatal Patients”
There is often little evidence regarding the safety and efficacy for
medications used in the NICU and some medications may have
significant side effects in neonatal patients. Two groups of medications
identified by neonatologists as overused in their patients are anti-reflux
medications and antibiotics. This session will focus on these
medications as well as other considerations for the use of certain
medications in the treatment of neonatal patients.
