Neonatology — Advanced Neonatal Infectology

Neonatology · Clinical Specialties

How it begins

Análisis exhaustivo y de nivel de subespecialidad sobre la fisiopatología, diagnóstico molecular y esquemas de tratamiento de los procesos infecciosos en el período neonatal. Incluye el abordaje detallado de la sepsis precoz y tardía, meningitis, infecciones sistémicas virales y fúngicas, patología osteoarticular, enterocolitis necrosante y la farmacocinética adaptada al neonato crítico.
