sepsis is the most common cause of neonatal mortality. as per national neonatal-perinatal database (nnpd), 2002-2003, the incidence of neonatal sepsis in india was 30 per 1000 live births. signs and symptoms of sepsis are nonspecific; therefore empirical antimicrobial therapy is promptly initiated after obtaining appropriate cultures. the early manifestations of neonatal sepsis are vague and il...

The broad-spectrum activity of fosfomycin, including against multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains, has led to renewed interest in its use in recent years. Neonatal sepsis remains a substantial cause of morbidity and mortality at a global level, with evidence that MDR bacteria play an increasing role. The evidence for use of fosfomycin in neonatal subjects is limited. We summarise current knowledge...

Introduction: Neonatal sepsis is one of the major contributors mortality and morbidity among neonates. Irrational overuse antibiotics have led to an increase in antimicrobial resistance. This study was undertaken investigate bacteriological profile, resistance predictors blood culture-positive cases neonatal sepsis. Methods: Demographic data were collected from electronic manual case records. A...

Neonatal sepsis is one of the most prevalent infections today, claiming lives almost million newborns in developing countries. Our objective to determine bacteria that cause Egyptian hospitals, as well discover their resistance profiles, allowing for selection appropriate drug combinations against multidrug resistant (MDR) bacteria. Nine hundred and eighty-nine blood samples were collected from...

a preterm female baby with birth weight of 1.5kg was referred to our hospital on day 6 for difficulty in breathing. baby was admitted at birth for respiratory distress and feed intolerance to other hospital and in view of clinical deterioration baby was referred. baby had thrombocytopenia with platelets counts of 11000/ mm3 and high crp titer. baby had petechial haemorrhagic spots all over the ...

BACKGROUND Neonatal sepsis is a blood stream infection which is seen in the first month of life of the neonate. Bacterial profile of neonatal septicemia is constantly changing thus, current knowledge on the patterns of bacterial isolates, its antibiotic resistance profile, and associated factors, are essential to design and implement appropriate interventions. Therefore, the aim of this study w...

Abstract Background This study demonstrates the experience of neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) a tertiary referral center in Egypt management prematures with sepsis. retrospective included preterm neonates admitted to NICU clinical and/or laboratory diagnosis Blood culture was done followed by antimicrobial susceptibility testing for positive cases. Neonates sepsis were classified into early...

background: to determine prospectively the prevalence of anaerobic and aerobic infection in early onset (during 72 hours of age) neonatal sepsis, in tehran vali-e-asr hospital. methods: among all the live birth, neonates suspecting of having septicemia were investigated for isolation of micro­organisms. culture bottle containing enriched tryptic soy broth was used for standard blood culture sys...
