Abstract
- Amphotericin B is widely used in the treatment of neonatal invasive fungal disease. Liposomal amphotericin B (LAmB) is now preferred over conventional amphotericin B deoxycholate due to its lower kidney toxicity. However, it is essential to monitor the possible side effects of LAmB when treating extremely premature infants. Herein, we present a case of an extremely premature infant who exhibited persistent metabolic acidosis, hypoglycemia, and dyselectrolytemia after administration of LAmB for a suspected fungal infection.
