fluconazole and Infant, Newborn, Diseases

fluconazole has been researched along with Infant, Newborn, Diseases in 8 studies

Fluconazole: Triazole antifungal agent that is used to treat oropharyngeal CANDIDIASIS and cryptococcal MENINGITIS in AIDS.
fluconazole : A member of the class of triazoles that is propan-2-ol substituted at position 1 and 3 by 1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl groups and at position 2 by a 2,4-difluorophenyl group. It is an antifungal drug used for the treatment of mucosal candidiasis and for systemic infections including systemic candidiasis, coccidioidomycosis, and cryptococcosis.

Infant, Newborn, Diseases: Diseases of newborn infants present at birth (congenital) or developing within the first month of birth. It does not include hereditary diseases not manifesting at birth or within the first 30 days of life nor does it include inborn errors of metabolism. Both HEREDITARY DISEASES and METABOLISM, INBORN ERRORS are available as general concepts.

( Benjamin, DK; Ericson, J; Manzoni, P, 2013)
"Invasive candidiasis is an important cause of sepsis in extremely low birth weight infants (ELBW, < 1000 g), is often fatal, and frequently results in neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) among survivors."1.48Antifungal Susceptibility and Clinical Outcome in Neonatal Candidiasis.

"The 8 patients with septicemia caused by Candida haemulonii had similar clinical chariacteristics to those of other neonatal candidemia, such as apnea, fever, abdominal distension, jaundice etc."1.43[Clinical analysis of 8 cases of neonatal septicemia caused by Candida haemulonii in neonatal intensive care unit]. ( Chen, S; Hu, Y; Huang, X; Jie, Q; Lin, S; Lin, Z; Zhang, H, 2016)
