    Areas covered: This article addresses the altered epidemiology of ophthalmia neonatorum in the U.S. since prophylactic practices began, the lack of data supporting ophthalmic erythromycin for prevention of neonatal gonococcal and chlamydial conjunctivitis, and the impact of prenatal screening and treatment of pregnant women for
    Expert opinion: Administration of erythromycin ophthalmic ointment for the prevention of neonatal conjunctivitis is not literature-supported. Prenatal screening and treatment of pregnant women is the most effective way to prevent ophthalmia neonatorum. National mandates for prophylaxis should be withdrawn.

    Abstract Urinary schistosomiasis is endemic in the tropical world. It is uncommon in geographical areas with advanced public health resources. Modern immigration from endemic communities to the United States supports the need to improve our diagnostic awareness. We describe 3 Brooklyn adolescent immigrants from Africa with urinary schistosomiasis, all of whom had an initial misdiagnosis that led to delay in therapeutic intervention.

    Abstract Introduction: Azithromycin was recommended as the first-line therapeutic regimen for treatment of genital infections in men and women by the Centers for Disease Control in 1998. A series of studies of azithromycin for treatment of rectal chlamydial infection in men who have sex with men (MSM) found that azithromycin was significantly less effective than doxycycline.
    Areas covered: Literature on treatment of rectal
    Expert opinion: The available data suggests that single-dose azithromycin is not as effective as azithromycin for the treatment of rectal infection in MSM and women. Most of these data have been retrospective or from observational studies. Final recommendations will depend on the outcome of prospective, randomized, treatment studies. We may also need to examine other dosage regimens for azithromycin.

    Abstract Purpose of review: In the last 50 years, vancomycin has been the agent of choice to treat infections due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). However, vancomycin treatment failure is not uncommon, even when MRSA strains are fully susceptible to vancomycin. Treatment with vancomycin requires careful monitoring of drug levels as there is a potential for nephrotoxicity. Resistance to clindamycin is not infrequent, which also limits therapeutic options for treating infections due to MRSA in children. This paper reviews the current data on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics and clinical efficacy of vancomycin in children.
    Recent findings: Resistance to vancomycin in MRSA (MIC >2 mg/L) is infrequent; there is increasing evidence in the literature that vancomycin maybe ineffective against increasing proportion of isolates with MICs between 1 and 2 mg/L. Recent studies and meta-analyses have demonstrated that strains with high vancomycin MICs are associated with poor outcomes especially in patients with bacteremia and deep tissue infections due to MRSA. This gradual increase in vancomycin MIC has been reported as MIC creep or vancomycin heteroresistance. Patients infected with MRSA isolates that exhibit MIC creep experience poorer clinical outcomes, including delayed treatment response, increased mortality, increase rate of relapse, and extended hospitalization. There are limited data to guide vancomycin dosing in children with MRSA. Although the vancomycin area under the curve AUC

    Abstract Introduction: Cefotaxime has been used for the management of neonatal infections since the 1990s for suspected meningitis and to mitigate gentamicin-associated renal injury. Its shortage in 2015 and subsequent removal from the U.S. pharmaceutical market forced providers to consider alternatives. Ceftriaxone, a cephalosporin with an identical antibacterial spectrum of activity to cefotaxime, is contraindicated in neonates due to its risk of biliary pseudolithiasis. Ceftazidime was recommended as an alternative by the American Academy of Pediatrics but is inequivalent.
    Areas covered: This article addresses indications for cephalosporin use and considerations when selecting an alternative to cefotaxime. Differences among cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, ceftazidime, and cefepime are discussed and compared to the standard-of-care presumptive regimen, ampicillin, and gentamicin. The authors consider the data behind the neonatal contraindication to ceftriaxone and provide recommendations for their application to practice.
    Expert opinion: The data against ceftriaxone use in neonates remain poor, particularly in the context of the cefotaxime shortage and lack of an equivalent alternative. Ceftriaxone could be considered in low-risk neonates without hyperbilirubinemia or exposure to calcium-containing fluids on a case-by-case basis. Ceftazidime monotherapy for presumptive management of neonatal infections is inappropriate; cefepime should be more frequently utilized in neonates who are poor candidates for ceftriaxone.
