Detecting infection in neonates: promises and challenges of a salivary approach

Clinical Therapeutics
Anjali Iyengar, J L Maron

Abstract

Premature newborns present unique challenges for the caregiver. Their clinical fragility and immature immune system places them at increased risk for bacterial and viral infections. Current clinical standard of care mandates invasive phlebotomy to assess an infant for an infection. However, serial blood draws can lead to blood transfusions and the infliction of noxious stimuli to this vulnerable population. Salivary screening for common neonatal morbidities, such as infections, could vastly improve the care for these infants and positively affect their long-term clinical outcomes. Recent technological advancements have improved our ability to detect thousands of proteins and/or microbes from a single salivary sample, making noninvasive assessment in neonates a possibility. This article reviews the clinical applications and challenges associated with integrating salivary analysis for infectious surveillance into the neonatal population.
