Sepsis-related morbidity and mortality are increasing concerns in all Neonatal Intensive Care Units, with reported incidences that are dramatically high regardless of the improvements in the quality of neonatal assistance. Preterm neonates display clinical characteristics that make them prone to infections. Neonatal sepsis is one of the major causes of neonatal death in developing countries. Di...

anaerobic bacteria are well known causes of sepsis in adults but there are few studies regarding their role in neonatal sepsis. in an attempt to define the incidence of neonatal anaerobic infections a prospective study was performed during one year period. a total number of 400 neonates under sepsis study were entered this investigation. anaerobic as well as aerobic cultures were sent. the pati...

La Sepsis Neonatal actualmente se ha convertido en una de las principales causas morbilidad y mortalidad neonatal, pasando a ser un significante desafío salud pública nivel mundial. es síndrome clínico infección hematógena con respuesta sistémica posible infección, o sin localización diferentes sitios del organismo, hemocultivo positivo no, que produce dentro primeras cuatro semanas vida. Para ...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to explore the risk factors, clinical symptoms, hematological parameters, causative pathogen and antibiotic susceptibility of neonatal sepsis in a Chinese NICU. METHODS A retrospective survey was conducted on 116 cases of neonatal sepsis in NICU at the Maternal and Child Care Hospital in Shenzhen, China from January 2009 to December 2012. Patients were divide...

Background: Sepsis is a major cause of mortality in neonatal. Diagnosing neonatal sepsis challenge, as its clinical symptoms are not specific. Various studies have been conducted to identify infection markers for early identification sepsis, but none shown satisfactory results. Therefore, we aimed determine the validity eosinophil count and monocyte lymphocyte ratio (MLR) detection sepsis. Obje...

Infections are the single largest cause of neonatal deaths globally. According to National Neonatal Perinatal Database (2002-03), the incidence of neonatal sepsis in India was 30 per 1000 live-births; klebsiella pneumoniae and staphylococcus aureus were the two most common organisms isolated. Based on the onset, neonatal sepsis is classified into two major categories: early onset sepsis, which ...

Neonatal sepsis is a major cause of morbidities and mortalities mostly remarkable in the third world nations.We aimed to assess the value of simultaneous measurement of procalcitonin (PCT) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in association with high sensitive prediction of early neonatal sepsis. A follow-up study was performed clinical signs of sepsis or maternal risk factors for sepsis. Neonates were ass...

Background and significance The third Sustainable Development Goal for child health, which aims to end preventable deaths of newborns and children less than 5 years of age by 2030, cannot be met without substantial reduction of infection-specific neonatal mortality in the developing world. Neonatal infections are estimated to account for 26% of annual neonatal deaths, with mortality rates highe...

OBJECTIVE to evaluate neonatal sepsis as a risk factor for abnormal neuromotor and cognitive development in very low birth weight preterm infants at 12 months of corrected age. METHODS this was a prospective cohort study that followed the neuromotor and cognitive development of 194 very low birth weight preterm infants discharged from a public neonatal intensive care unit. The Bayley Scale of...
