Abstract

Purpose: Ceftriaxone is used sparingly in newborns due to its side effects. There are limited studies about its use in neonatal infections. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the side effects that may occur after ceftriaxone therapy in newborns. Materials and Methods: The clinical and laboratory data before (baseline) and after ceftriaxone treatment of newborns hospitalized in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit of Cukurova University Medical Faculty, Balcalı Hospital between 2015 - 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Thirty cases were included in the study. The mean gestational age of these babies was 37 ± 3.1 (30-41) weeks, and mean duration of ceftriaxone treatment was 7.2 ± 2.2 (2-12) days. Urine cultures were obtained from all patients and microorganism growth was detected in 17 (56.6%) infants. Escherichia coli grew in 11 (36.6%) cultures while other bacteria were identified in 5 (16.7%) cases. Compared to baseline, significant decreases were found in blood urea nitrogen, total bilirubin and hematocrit values after ceftriaxone therapy. No side effects related to the use of ceftriaxone were observed. Conclusion: The fact that no complications were observed after ceftriaxone in our study may be encouraging, both for the use of ceftriaxone in term or near-term newborns and for conducting extensive studies. More research is needed to investigate the side effects of ceftriaxone in newborns and to determine whether it can be an alternative to other antibiotics.

Özet

Amaç: Seftriakson yan etkileri nedeniyle yenidoğanda sınırlı kullanıma sahiptir. Yenidoğan enfeksiyonlarında kullanımı ile ilgili sınırlı sayıda çalışma vardır. Bu çalışma ile setriakson alan yenidoğanlarda seftriakson sonrası oluşabilecek yan etkilerin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çukurova Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Balcalı Hastanesi Yenidoğan Yoğun Bakım Ünitesi’nde, 2015-2016 yılları arasında yatan bebeklerin seftriakson tedavisi öncesi ve sonrası klinik ve laboratuvar verileri retrospektif olarak incelenmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışmaya 30 olgu alınmıştır. Bu bebeklerin ortalama gebelik yaşı 37 ± 3,1 (30-41) hafta, seftriakson aldığı süre 7,2 ± 2,2 (2-12) gün bulunmuştur. 30 olgudan alınan idrar kültürlerinde; 17 (%56,6) bebekte üreme saptanmıştır. Bunların 11’inde (%36,6) Escherischia coli (E. coli), 5’inde (%16,7) diğer bakteriler üremiştir. Olguların seftriakson öncesi ve sonrası laboratuvar verilerinde kan üre azotu (BUN), total bilirubin (TB) ve hematokrit değerlerinde anlamlı düşüş saptanmıştır. Seftriakson kullanımına bağlı herhangi bir yan etki izlenmemiştir. Sonuç: Çalışmamızda seftriakson sonrası komplikasyon görülmemiş olması term veya terme yakın yenidoğanlarda seftriakson kullanımı için cesaret verici olabilir. Fakat, yenidoğanda seftriaksonun yan etkilerinin ve sıklıklarının kesinleştirilmesi ve yenidoğanda kullanılan diğer antibiyotiklere karşı alternatif olup olamayacağının belirlenmesi için daha fazla araştırmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
