Acquired Bartter-like syndrome (BLS), characterized by hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis, hypomagnesemia, hypocalcemia, and normal kidney function, can be induced diuretics or antibiotics. It is a very rare condition only anecdotal cases mostly in adults were reported. Although tubulopathy associated with colistin was reported adults, to the best of our knowledge, colistin-associated BLS neither nor children has been literature. We here report a-28-week, 740 g female preterm infant who...

Almost 95% of the platelet transfusions (PTs) conducted in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) are prophylactic transfusions. Guidelines for PTs based on counts, but not functions. Nowadays, order to reduce unnecessary transfusions, utilizing mass index (PMI) was investigated. The aim study is find out whether performed our NICU during last 2 years were accordance with current guideline and evaluate frequency should be reduced if PMI considered.Forty-three infants who received 96 enrolled...
