Infections in the Neonatal Period

Take the opportunity to learn about the latest advances in this field in order to apply it to your daily practice"

From the end of the neonatal period to 5 years of age, pneumonia, malaria and diarrhea are the main causes of death. As can be inferred, this leads to a therapeutic approach, which in many cases will be with antibacterial, antiviral or antifungal agents.

This program offers the student the possibility of deepening and updating knowledge, using the latest educational technology. It offers a global vision of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, while focusing on the most important and innovative aspects in the neonatal period.

This program is a response to an important need in the field of Infectious Diseases. Today, this need responds, among other things, to the emergence of certain diseases that are unknown or have little practice (zika, chikungunya, hemorrhagic fevers, among others), and with others that have fallen into oblivion or are unknown to less experienced pharmacists such as diphtheria, measles, pertussis (whooping cough), or flaccid paralysis associated with poliovirus vaccines.

At the therapeutic level, the emergence of resistance (BLEES, MRSA, carbapenem-resistant enterobacteria, etc.), often caused by the unwise and rational use of drugs, creates problems for the clinician when it comes to initial empirical treatment in certain situations.

On the other hand, parents who refuse vaccines, children from low-income backgrounds, infections in transplant recipients, children with devices, fevers without focus in well-vaccinated children are increasingly common situations that the pharmacist has to deal with.

All this means that, in order to attend to these patients with the maximum guarantee, the pharmacist must continuously keep up to date, even if they are not a specialist, since the percentage of visits or interconsultations related to infection is very high. If we add to this the increasing amount of information provided by parents, sometimes not always contrasted, professional updating becomes essential to be able to provide adequate information according to the current scientific evidence at all times.

With this program the professional will have the opportunity to study a teaching program that brings together the most advanced and in-depth knowledge in the field, where a group of professors of high scientific rigor and extensive international experience offers the most complete and up-to-date information on the latest advances and techniques in Pediatric Infectious Diseases.
