Abstract:

Extremely preterm neonates are at heightened risk for invasive fungal infections. We report a fatal case of Aspergillus flavus infection in a 25-week infant, outlining the clinical course, antifungal treatment, and challenges in management. This case highlights the need for early recognition, rapid biopsy and aggressive therapy in vulnerable neonates.

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection

The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...
