Evaluation and Treatment of Mastitis in Infants

Abstract: We reviewed cases of mastitis in infants treated at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta from 2005 to 2011. Among infants with breast cultures, Staphylococcus aureus was the most common cause. No infant with a positive breast culture had a concordant positive culture elsewhere. Our findings argue that urine, blood and spinal fluid cultures are unnecessary in well-appearing afebrile infants with mastitis.

“…Tampoco presentaba síntomas sistémicos, como fiebre, irritabilidad y rechazo de tomas, como puede existir en los lactantes con mastitis. La importancia de llegar a un diagnóstico adecuado de mastitis se debe a que más de la mitad de los casos pueden progresar hacia la formación de un absceso mamario, [9][10][11] así como la aparición de complicaciones, aunque estas son poco frecuentes. Las graves complicaciones que pueden producirse a partir Figura 2.…”

“…Bununla birlikte, intrauterin dönemde geçen maternal östrojenin gebelik sonrasında azalması ile yenidoğanda prolaktin salınımının tetiklendiği ve yüksek prolaktin düzeyinin de geçici meme hipertrofisine sıklıkla neden olduğu bilinmektedir. Bu durumda bebeğin memesine yapılan masaj veya sıkma gibi girişimler memedeki yağ dokusunun nekrozuna ve cilt bütünlüğünün bozulmasına yol açarak mastit veya meme apsesine neden olmaktadır (7,8) . Enfeksiyonlara göreceli olarak daha yatkın olan yenidoğan bebeklerde neonatal mastit mevcut literatürde bildirilen olgulara göre ülkemizde biraz daha sık görülmektedir (3)(4)(5)(6) .…”

“…You obtained a blood culture (reported as positive in 4% of infants 5 ), and admit her to the hospital for parenteral antistaphylococcal antibiotics, particularly for MRSA. 6 You were surprised when the pediatric surgeon declined to either aspirate the fluctuant area or to perform an incision and drainage procedure for culture and for therapeutic reasons. 5,6 You assumed that, as a newborn, she was potentially at risk for extensive cellulitis, osteomyelitis, or necrotizing fasciitis, but not meningitis.…”
