I had a male child born on 4th oct. -07 , the child was born 26 days earlier than the due date and its weight was 2.4 kgs. Immediately the doctor took him to NICU telling that this child will be in danger if not treated since his lungs and brain are not developed.. but the child was looking fine.. he was crying and trying to take his hand in mouth... the doctor then injected some antibiotics daily for nearly 27 days to child and no motherfeed or any other feed was given for these days... the weight reduced to 1.7 kg. During discharge from hospital some swelling was seen on his knees... the doctor told that it is a normal swelling. When we got an x-ray.. we were worried because there was some liquid filled near his knee joints... after culture of that liquid... it was found Yeast cells in it... and it already damaged joints to some extent... the other doctor told that it is septicemia and polyarthritis of multiple joints of the body... the child was initially and currently is being treated with amphotericin B = antifungal injection... can anyone tell me that can the 20 percent destroyed portion of the bones at shoulder, hip and knees be recovered and if yes.. how?. it's the question of life of my child... one more thing... the blood culture report says that due to long term use of antibiotics this has happened... tell me the solution... thanks in advance.
