Neonatal Chloramphenicol Toxicity
Neonatal chloramphenicol toxicity is a serious adverse reaction that can occur in newborns when their still-immature body is unable to properly process this antibiotic. For this reason, its use at this stage requires special medical care.
Why it happens: the newborn's liver and kidneys are still developing, which can lead to a buildup of the drug and effects on the baby.
Important context: the decision and management of any medication in a newborn belong exclusively to the medical setting; it should never be given on one's own.
Which specialist manages it? Care of the newborn falls to the neonatologist and the pediatrician. With any doubt about a baby's response to a treatment, the right thing is to report it immediately to these professionals.
