Newborn Suspected Of Urinary Infection, On Netilmicin Sulfate Injection, Cefepime & Tazobactam Injection. Is This Correct ?
hi, our newborn grandson (10 days old) was suspected of urinary infection (only symptom was: he wasnt feeding roperly) and he has got these results from urine test (done on 6th february): 1. Bilirubin total = 12.45, 2. Bilirubin (direct) = 1.16, 3. CRP = 1: dilute positive, 4.8mg/dl He is on medication: Netilmicin sulfate injection USP 25mg/1ml (Netromax 25), 2. Cefepime & Tazobactam injection (250mg+31.25mg) (Scud XP 250mg), 3. Acetaminophen oral suspension USP (P125 drops). he is feeding properly now, though he is still irritable. so we were wondering if the diagnosis and the treatment he is receiving is proper one.

hello
thanks for writing
any baby(neonate) who is not feeding and inactive should be suspected to have sepsis and should be investigated.....subjected to septic screen and blood culture
in your case i donot have the other components of sepsis screen........like total counts etc
what about the urinary investigation and culture...........
what about blood culture
CRP Positive could suggest infection or inflammation in the body
pl write to me with further details so that i can give you better information regarding
