چکیده
Objective : The aim of the study was to find the correlation of clinical profile and risk factors of neonatal sepsis with culture proven cases. Materials and Method: The study was conducted on 50 neonates a time based prospective study. All consecutive neonates fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria are subjected to sepsis screening. Results: Among risk factors PROM and fetal distress were statistically significant with a p value of 0.009 respectively. Among the clinical features 80% of the neonates with mottling and grunting were proven sepsis which was statistically significant with a p value of 0.015 respectively.Conclution: Neonatal sepsis is a common disease of newborn with non-specific symptomatology causing difficulty in the diagnosis. Early and prompt detection and appropriate treatment of neonatal sepsis can significantly reduce the morbidity and mortality
