Coagulase-positive staphylococcus is the most frequent cause of neonatal sepsis in our unit. Lower birth weight (<2000g) was associated with mortality in these sepsis cases.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Microbiology

Context:

  • Neonatal sepsis presents a significant challenge in neonatology units.
  • Identifying common pathogens is crucial for effective treatment and prevention strategies.

Purpose:

  • To determine the most common bacterial pathogens causing neonatal sepsis in a specific neonatology unit.
  • To analyze clinical symptoms and laboratory findings associated with neonatal sepsis.

Summary:

  • A study of 22 neonatal sepsis cases identified coagulase-positive staphylococcus as the predominant pathogen.
  • Apnea was the most common symptom; C-reactive protein (CRP) positivity and elevated immature/total neutrophil ratios were frequent findings.
  • Leukopenia was observed in a small percentage of cases, and mortality was linked to birth weights below 2000 grams.

Impact:

  • Findings can guide empirical antibiotic choices and infection control measures in neonatal units.
  • Highlights the importance of considering birth weight as a prognostic factor in neonatal sepsis.
