Welcome,
It is vary rare at this age,
If your daughter tolerate oral its ok otherwise iv route is best,
One author report a case of neonatal
amebiasis presenting with
vomiting, refusal to feeds, abdominal distension and mucoid
stools. The diagnosis was made on the basis of clinical appearance of stools and the presence ofEntameba Histolytica
. The purpose of this report is to alert to the possibility of
amoebiasis in newborns, if baby presents with NEC like picture in an
endemic area and to send the stool sample immediately to examine for trophozoites, especially because the diarrheal stool
starts autolyzing within 30 min of defecation. This 14-day-old newborn, who was possibly infected with orally given jaggery solution is presented. He was successfully treated with intravenous
tinidazole.
Take care.
