Effect of PMX‐DHP for sepsis due to ESBL‐producing E. coli in an extremely low‐birthweight infant

Abstract: We report a case of early onset sepsis caused by (CTX for cefotaximase and M for Munich)-type extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL E. coli) in a preterm infant weighing 601 g. He was given meropenem and treated for endotoxin absorption with polymyxin B-immobilized fibers with only 8 mL of priming volume. The patient survived without any short-term neurological or respiratory sequelae. The choice of antibiotics is particularly important in seriously ill neonates with sepsis due to ESBL… Show more

“…Thus, strategies aimed at controlling the host response are important. Since the 2000s, polymyxin-B immobilized column-direct hemoperfusion (PMX-DHP) has been reported for neonatal and pediatric septic shock following its use in adults [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. However, because there are no randomized Fig.…”

“…I note that Kim et al [1] did not report the patient's IL-6 level as a measure of the severity of septic shock. IL-6 is considered useful as a marker of shock and a criterion for induction of PMX-DHP in sick neonates [3,4].…”

“…Several reports in Japanese literature have shown acceptable results by using PMX-05R in pediatric or elderly patients with sepsis. In 2011, PMX-01R was released for use in newborn or premature babies, and there are case reports describing the clinical use of PMX- 01R in patients with a body weight less than 1000 g with severe sepsis [27,28].…”
