摘要: We report a term neonate with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy who underwent 72-hour therapeutic hypothermia. He developed unstable body temperature associated coagulase negative staphylococcus septicemia 2 weeks later which was promptly treated intravenous antibiotics and made good recovery. PubMed (a service of the U.S. National Library Medicine) searched for terms "therapeutic hypothermia" "septicemia," limits activated (humans, English, age 0-18 years). There were only 6 randomized controlled trials, 1 non-randomized trial, retrospective cohort, case-control showed no definite evidence increased risk or neutrophil dysfunction in infants following hypothermia therapy.
