متن کاملLate-Onset Neutropenia in Very Low Birth Weight Infants
Background. Neutropenia, defined as absolute neutrophil count (ANC) <1500/mm3, affects 6% to 58% of premature infants in the first week of life. This early-onset neutropenia in premature infants has previously been correlated with sepsis, maternal hypertension, severe asphyxia, and periventricular hemorrhage. Late-onset neutropenia, defined as ANC <1500/mm3 at a postnatal age of >3 weeks, has n...
متن کاملNeonatal Sepsis in the Very Low Birth Weight Preterm Infants: Part 1: Review of Patho-physiology
Background: Over the last fifty years neonatal care has made tremendous progress; increasing survival, reducing morbidity, developing newer modalities of care and therapy for the very low birth weight (VLBW) and premature infant. However, mortality from neonatal sepsis in this group of infants has remained between 18-20% in the developed world and around 80% in the developing world for last thr...
