Recommended diet for neonatal neutropenia

  Neonatal neutrophilia is a typical symptom of listeriosis and can be divided into early-onset and late-onset neonatal listeriosis, depending on how early the symptoms appear.  Early onset listeriosis is seen in the first few hours of life. It is characterized by respiratory distress, pneumonia, hepatosplenomegaly, dark red rash, leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. Blood, urine, gastric fluid, bronchial secretions, amniotic fluid, and fecal cultures are often positive for the causative organism, but cerebrospinal fluid cultures are often negative.  Late onset listeriosis is seen in infants 3-13 days after birth or later and is characterized by meningoencephalitis with fever, irritability, and refusal to eat. Cerebrospinal fluid cultures often reveal Listeria monocytogenes. Other rare cases of Listeriosis include subacute endocarditis, endophthalmitis, peritonitis, pleurisy, osteomyelitis, lymphadenitis, cutaneous Listeriosis, conjunctivitis, cholecystitis, liver and spleen abscesses, soft tissue abscesses, etc.  The prognosis of listeriosis depends on the age of onset and the status of the primary disease. Early-onset neonatal listeriosis has a poor prognosis and a high mortality rate of 40% to 54%. Survivors are often left with severe neurological sequelae. Late onset neonatal Listeria monocytogenes meningoencephalitis has a better prognosis, but nearly half of the patients may have neurological sequelae. The mortality rate is about 11% for sepsis without CNS infection and 30% for sepsis with meningoencephalitis.
