Chloramphenicol in the Newborn Infant: A Physiologic Explanation of Its Toxicity When Given in Excessive Doses

Weiss, Charles F., Glazko, Anthony J., Weston, Jean K.·1960·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

DURING the past few years there has been much concern regarding the increased incidence of nursery infections. This has resulted in the widespread use of antibiotics for prophylaxis as well as for therapy. The variable response of hospital strains of micro-organisms led to a gradual increase in the size of doses being administered. Chloramphenicol has proved to be an effective agent in this field, but doses higher than those recommended for older subjects have been used in many cases. Associated with these high doses of chloramphenicol, several pediatric centers found a number of toxic reactions and a higher mortality in . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
