Ceftriaxone‐Resistant Escherichia coli Sepsis in an Infant With Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1 Receiving Risdiplam: A Case Report
By Momen Zetawi, Razan Shoman, Asem Afana and 6 others.
Abstract
ABSTRACT Even in the risdiplam era, infants with SMA type 1 remain vulnerable to severe resistant infections because respiratory and bulbar weakness persist. Early cultures, susceptibility‐guided antibiotics, airway‐clearance measures, ventilatory support, and multidisciplinary PICU care are crucial to stabilize sepsis, prevent respiratory deterioration, and improve outcomes in this fragile population overall.
