Central Diabetes Insipidus in an Infant with Pneumococcal Meningitis.
Central diabetes is an infrequent complication reported in the neonatal period.. CDI as a complication of Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) sepsis and meningitis in a 9-day-old boy is presented. The CDI developed on day 3 after admission and was controlled with nasal vasopressin on the 20th day of admission. Despite antibiotic support, the child died from Acinetobacter sepsis at 4 months of age, but the CDI was well controlled.. Newborns with bacterial meningitis can develop CDI as a sequalae. Treatment of the CDI with nasal vasopressin can be successful in this period. To our knowledge, this is the first newborn of CDI associated with S. pneumoniae meningitis.

Treatment of bleeding oesophageal varices by infusion of vasopressin into the superior mesenteric artery.
Seventeen patients bleeding from oesophageal varices were treated by continuous infusion of vasopressin through a catheter inserted percutaneously and positioned in the superior mesenteric artery and in two other patients catheterization proved technically impossible. Bleeding was completely controlled on only four out of 18 occasions in the 17 patients treated. In seven patients, bleeding was controlled for two or more days but then recurred although the infusion was continued with an increased dose of vasopressin. There was a high incidence of complications, including bleeding from the site of catheter insertion in the groin and septicaemias. Sengstaken balloon tamponade and oesophageal transection had to be used to control bleeding in some patients but only six out of 17 survived to leave hospital.
