He was born at term. His mother reports that she had a nonspecific febrile illness 1 week before delivery for which she received no treatment. Her GBS screen was positive at 36 weeks' gestation, and she received two doses of ampicillin (>4 hours apart) during labor. The baby received no antibiotics and was discharged at 48 hours of age. Physical examination today reveals a toxic, lethargic infant who is grunting and has a temp of 39.4°C, HR of 180, and RR of 60. His lungs are clear, with subcostal retractions. He has a regular heart rhythm with gallop, his pulses are thready, his capillary refill is 4 seconds, and his extremities are cool. Of the following, the MOST likely cause of this baby's illness is A. early-onset group B Streptococcus infection B. echovirus 11 infection C. herpes simplex virus infection D. hypoplastic left heart syndrome E. respiratory syncytial virus infection High risk for developing disseminated infection Severe manifestations: › › › › › › › Fulminant Hepatitis Myocarditis Pneumonitis Meningitis Encephalitis DIC Multiorgan failure acquired from nurseries, or from symptomatic mothers (fever 1 week prior to delivery) Symptoms develop at 3-7 days of life Signs include › mild listlessness, anorexia, transient respiratory distress, jaundice, Viral culture** › Stool, throat, blood, CSF, or tissue › 8 to 10 days PCR** › Only small sample needed › Results in 24 hours Serology › Based on increase in antibody titers › Too many enterovirus serotypes to be practical Testing by PCR has been associated with decreased IV abx use, ancillary testing, and hospital length of stay Allows for patient isolation if necessary (ie, NICU) Supportive care Antivirals under investigation IVIG may benefit immunodeficient patients › Also used in some with myocarditis or persistant meningoencephalitis Contact precautions HAND WASHING!!!
