objectives:prenatal infections are one of the fundamental causes of early puerperal complications in mothers and neonates. these infections are mostly due to colonized organisms in pregnant woman's genitor-urinary system. the aim of this study was to determine the incidence of streptococcus group b (gbs) colonization in parturient women and the rate of pathogen transmission to the newborn....

conclusion we suggest the standard cefazolin prophylaxis (after cord clamping) for elective cesarean section and cefazolin before incision for non elective cesarean section. therefore, administration of prophylactic cefazolin prior to incision will not increase the rate of neonatal sepsis. compared between these groups. results two groups were demographically identical. rate of iv line need (rr...

Introduction: Hyperbilirubinemia is a relatively common disorder among infants in Iran. Bacterial infection and jaundice may be associated with higher morbidity.

conclusions the results of this study show that the incidence of nosocomial infection in neonates is high and decreasing the risk factors such as prematurity, mechanical ventilation and reducing invasive procedures can decrease the infection and improve rapid recovery in these neonates. patients and methods this cross-sectional retrospective study was performed during an 18- month period (2012 ...
