sepsis is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in neonates. the most common pathogens of bacterial sepsis and antibiotic sensitivity patterns vary in different parts of the world. the aim of this study was to determine the most common pathogens and outcome of neonatal sepsis and also antibiotic sensitivity patterns of klebsiella species. a retrospective descriptive study was carried o...

background and objective: neonatal sepsis is defined as presence of clinical signs accompanied by positive blood culture in newborns less than one month of age. sepsis is a common cause of hospital admission in neonates, and it is known as one of the main causes of mortality among them, not only in developed countries but in developing ones. delay in diagnosis and appropriate antibiotic therapy...

About 20 % of neonates develop sepsis and among them approximately 1% die due to sepsis-related causes. Bacterial pathogens are the commonest cause neonatal which is either early-onset (<72 hours age) or late-onset (>72 hours). Little known about epidemiology antimicrobial susceptibility pattern causing bacterial in Nepal. A prospective study was carried out suspected have admitted Tribhu...

INTRODUCTION Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae, multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens, are increasingly implicated in nosocomial outbreaksworldwide, particularly in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Proteus mirabilis is an uncommon nosocomial pathogen causing sepsis in neonates. CASE PRESENTATION We report an outbreak of ESBL-positive MDR P. mirabilis sepsis...

background: neonatal sepsis is a life-threatening disease with an incidence of 1 to 10 per 1000 live births and a mortality rate of 15% to 50%. the clinical signs are non-specific and indistinguishable from those caused by a variety of neonatal noninfectious disorders. objective: the aim of this study was to determine the importance of cd64 expression (fcgri), a neutrophil surface marker, in ea...

  Septicemia in neonates is the commonest cause of mortality. Early recognition and diagnosis of neonatal sepsis remains a challenge because of the variable and nonspecific clinical presentation. The laboratory criteria are often non specific and not fully reliable. The objective of this review is to highlight the various hematological and biological markers of neonatal sepsis. We searched ...

considering the 50% mortality rate of neonatal septicemia associated with neutropenia and increasing resistance to antibiotics, simultaneous antibiotic therapy strategies are becoming more important. however, few studies have been performed to evaluate effectiveness of rhg-csf in the treatment of neutropenia in neonates. this randomized clinical trial was performed on 40 neutropenic neonates wi...

Abstract Background An estimated 2.4 million babies died within the first 28 days of life in 2020. The third leading cause neonatal death continues to be sepsis. Sepsis-causing bacterial pathogens vary temporally and geographically, with a rise multi-drug resistant organisms (MDRO), pose threat population. Methods This is single center, retrospective study very low birth weight (VLBW) infants L...

background it is known that risk factors related to neonatal bacterial sepsis are complex. objectives the current study aimed to determine the risk factors of neonatal sepsis. materials and methods this study was conducted on 1023 neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care units (nicus) in south sinai governorate hospitals from january 2010 till september 2014. demographic data of the neonate...
