The Spectrum of Neonatal Disorders Managed at the University Hospital of the West Indies over the Past Two Decades

Issue: 
Vol 67, Issue 5: 2018: Special Issue Commemorating the 70th Anniversary of The University of the West Indies
DOI: 
10.7727/wimj.2018.174
Pages: 
404–09
Synopsis: 
It is clear that a diverse spectrum of medical disorders is managed on the neonatal unit of the UHWI and that the fledgling neonatal unit providing basic care for neonates of the 1960s has matured into the level II Newborn Special Care Nursery and Level III NICU that it is today. The time is now opportune, for Neonatology to gain independent status as a Division of Neonatology within the Department of Child Health at the UHWI.

Pneumococcal Meningitis in Jamaican Children

Issue: 
Vol 58, issue 6 (2009)
Pages: 
585–8
Synopsis: 
Meningitis is a common clinical syndrome of invasive pneumococcal disease and occurs in 23% of cases resulting in mortality and high morbidity among Jamaican children. Local seroepidemiological studies are urgently needed to inform national vaccine decisions. As an interim plan, policymakers should consider a risk-based strategy to vaccine prophylaxis that will ensure that high risk groups such as children with Sickle cell disease are offered currently available conjugate pneumococcal vaccines.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To describe the clinical features and outcome of pneumococcal meningitis in Jamaican children.

Methods: All patients admitted to the Bustamante Hospital for Children, during the period 1995–1999, who had pneumococcus isolated from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or pleocytosis in association with a blood culture isolate of pneumococcus were selected. Demographic, clinical and laboratory data were collected.
