Gut microbial colonisation in premature neonates predicts neonatal sepsis.
BACKGROUND Neonatal sepsis due to intestinal bacterial translocation is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Understanding microbial colonisation of the gut in prematurity may predict risk of sepsis to guide future strategies to manipulate the microbiome. METHODS Prospective longitudinal study of premature infants. Stool samples were obtained weekly. DNA was extracted and the V6 hypervar...
متن کاملGenetic Polymorphisms and Sepsis in Premature Neonates
Identifying single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the genes involved in sepsis may help to clarify the pathophysiology of neonatal sepsis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationships between sepsis in pre-term neonates and genes potentially involved in the response to invasion by infectious agents. The study involved 101 pre-term neonates born between June 2008 and May 2012 with...

متن کاملPredicting neonatal sepsis in ventilated neonates.
OBJECTIVE To show the value of serial endotracheal aspirate culture in predicting organisms causing sepsis in ventilated neonates. METHODS We studied 100 newborns in Zeynep Kamil Maternity and Children's Training and Research Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Endotracheal aspirate and blood cultures were taken first on the third day and then once a week till extubation. RESULTS Blood a...
متن کاملLumbar Puncture in Neonates with Sepsis
Introduction: Infections are one of the main causes of death during childhood. Epidemiologic studies in Iran showed that the incidence of neonatal sepsis was 1.8% in 1995. Moreover, the incidence of neonatal meningitis is 0.2 to 0.4 in per 1,000 live births. The aim of this study was to determine the necessity of lumbar puncture (LP) in early neonatal sepsis. Methods: In a retrospective study, ...
