RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Infants exposed prenatally to drugs of substance use are at increased risk for seizures, strabismus, feeding difficulty, and neurodevelopmental delays. Exposed preterm infants may have additional morbidities related to prematurity. There is limited literature on national outcomes of preterm infants exposed to drugs of substance use. We aimed to evaluate the trends and neonatal outcomes of preterm infants born in the USA who were exposed in-utero to drugs of substance use. METHODS: Retrospective cohort study of preterm live born (<37 weeks gestation) exposed in-utero to opioids, hallucinogens, or cocaine in the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project database from 2002 to 2017. Neonatal outcomes were identified using international classification of diseases 9&10 codes. RESULTS: Of the 54,469,720 live-born infants, 7.7% (4,194,816) were preterm, and 58 679 (1.4%) were exposed in-utero to maternal opioids/hallucinogens (n = 39,335) or cocaine (n = 19,344). There was a trend for increased exposure to opioids/hallucinogens (Z score = 76.14, p < 0.001) during the study period. Exposed preterm infants had significantly more neurological anomalies, intra-ventricular hemorrhage and periventricular leukomalacia (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: There was a trend for increased in-utero exposure to opioids and hallucinogens in the preterm infants in the USA. Exposed preterm infants had more neurological morbidities.

RESUMEN

We compared the sensitivity and specificity of Typhidot-M and Widal test with blood culture (gold standard) for diagnosing typhoid fever in 105 children aged 1-15 years admitted with clinical suspicion of typhoid fever. Of the 105 cases, blood culture was positive for S.typhi in 41 (39%) children, Widal test was positive in 48 (45.7%) and Typhidot-M was positive in 78 (74.3%) cases. Sensitivity and specificity of Typhidot-M was 92.6% and 37.5% while sensitivity and specificity of Widal test was 34.1% and 42.8%, respectively. In children with fever of less than 7 days duration, Typhidot-M was positive in 97%, compared to 24.2% by Widal test. Typhidot-M is a simple and sensitive test for early diagnosis of typhoid fever in children.
