Effectiveness of Oral Nystatin Prophylaxis in the Prevention of Candida Colonization in Very Low Birth Weight Preterm Neonates; a Randomized Controlled Trial |
|
| چکیده انگلیسی مقاله |
Background: The present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of oral nystatin as antifungal prophylaxis in the prevention of fungal colonization in premature neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).Methods: This randomized controlled trial was conducted on 106 neonates admitted to NICUs in the first 72 h of their life with gestational age, gestational age of fewer than 32 weeks, and birth weight of less than 1500 g. The neonates were randomly assigned to two groups: the case group (received nystatin, n=53) and the control group (did not receive nystatin, n=53). After one week, swabs were prepared from the oral and rectal mucosa of the subjects for smear and fungal culture.Results: The results obtained from the culture revealed that nystatin prophylaxis significantly decreased the colonization of Candida in premature neonates (P=0.03). Moreover, nystatin prophylaxis was significantly associated with Candida colonization in preterm infants with the following characteristics: a gestational age of 28-32 weeks (0 (0.0%) vs. 5 (10.9%)) (P= 0.05), very low birth weight (VLBW) infants (0 (0.0%) vs. 8 (16.0%)) (P=0.007), neonates born via normal vaginal delivery (NVD) (1 (11.1%) vs. 8 (72.7%)) (P=0.01), infants born after preterm rupture of the membrane (PROM) (1 (10.0%) vs. 6 (75.0%)) (P=0.01), and neonates taking broad-spectrum antibiotics (1 (3.7%) vs. 7 (26.9%)) (P=0.02).Conclusion: The present study demonstrated that nystatin prophylaxis might be considered an effective drug in the prevention of Candida colonization and might lower the risk of SFIs; nonetheless, it had no significant effect on extremely low birth weight (ELBW) neonates. Since nystatin is safe, well-tolerated, affordable, and effective, further studies are required to confirm it as a therapeutic option for ELBW newborns with Candida infections. |
