This study just released by New England Journal of Medicine: http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/short/345/23/1660?query=TOC The study concludes that giving fluconazole to preterm infants to prevent fungal infections common in NICU's led to reduced fungal infection with no increased risk to the infant. These are very low weight preterm infants receiving high doses of Diflucan. I think this study will come in handy for those moms needing Diflucan for nipple yeast, but the physician is concerned about fluconazole transfer into the mother's milk.
