DIRECTLY OBSERVED TREATMENT SHORT-COURSE FOR TUBERCULOSIS AMONG FILIPINO CHILDREN TALOMO (SOUTH) DISTRICT, DAVAO CITY EXPERIENCE<\/span><\/strong>
\nRichard T. Mata, M.D. *, Jo-Anne J. Lobo, M.D. *<\/strong><\/em>
\nKeywords: Tuberculosis<\/em>
\nAbstract:<\/strong>
\nCompliance has always been problem in the treatment of tuberculosis. The strategy known as Directly Observed Treatment Short-course(DOTS) has been proven to be remedy to this dilemma in some foreign countries. The aim of this paper is to assess the outcome of (DOTS) among Filipino children with tuberculosis using the Barangay Health Workers (BHWs) in directly supervising the drug intake at Talomo (South) District, Davao City. Screening the children with primary complex was done and those that showed positive were enrolled in this study.

\nBenjamin Cabrera M.D.*, Cecilia Maramba-Untalan, M.D. *<\/strong><\/em>
\nAbstract:<\/strong>
\nN.C. 9 y.o. Male, from Angat, Bulacan was admitted due to decrease in sensorium.
\nHe was apparently well until three days prior to admission, his mother noted multiple pustules in his right sole which he later punctured with a needle and with subsequent drainage of pus. He then developed low-grade fever in the afternoon. No medication were taken nor consultants done.
\nTwo days prior to admission, he had undocumented high grade fever temporarily relieved with paracetamol (10mg\/kg). associated with generalized eythemathous popular rashes involving the face, neck, trunk and the extremities that spontaneously resolved after a day.

RISK FACTORS AND MICROBIOLOGY OF NOSOCOMIAL INFECTION AMONG NICU PATIENTS AT A TERTIARY HOSPITAL<\/span><\/strong>

\nkeywords: Nosocomial infections<\/em>
\nAbstract:<\/strong>
\nA retrospective study was done on the risk factors and microbiology of nosocomial infection among NICU patients at the University of the East Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Medical Center. The study period was done from January 1, 1995 to August 21, 2000. Newborns were divided into 2 groups those who developed and those who did not develop nosocomial infections. Based on the results, nosocomial infection was proven to be a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. The number of antibiotics used and duration of hospital stay are the risk factors found to be predictive of nosocomial infections. The predominant organisms isolated from all sites were mainly gram negative pathogens. Increased resistance of those organisms to aminoglycosides, cephalosparins, and extended spectrum penicillin’s was evident. The emergence of candidemia in the last two years of the study period was noted.

TREATMENT OF MELIOIDOSIS IN CHILDREN: A FOLLOW-UP STUDY<\/span><\/strong>
\nPagakrong Lumbiganon, M.D. *, P. Kosaralaksa, M.D. *<\/strong><\/em>
\nAbstract:<\/strong>
\nMelioidosis, is an infection caused by Brukholderia pseudomallel. The recommended antibiotic treatment of sever melioidosis in the acute phase is ceftazidime with or without trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TP\/SMX), followed by oral maintenance therapy with the combination of TMP\/SMX, doxycycline and chloramphenicol for a total duration of 20 weeks. Oral amoxicillin-clavulante has been shown to be associated with a higher relapse rate than the combination of TMP\/SMX, doxycycline and chlorampheniol in a randomized trial. There were no data concerning recommended oral treatment, duration of treatment and relapse rate of melioidosis in children.
