OBJECTIVE To investigate the longitudinal course and prognostic value of amplitude integrated EEG (aEEG) in infants with neonatal sepsis or meningitis. METHODS Amplitude integrated EEG recordings of 22 infants with sepsis/meningitis were retrospectively evaluated. Mean gestational age was 38 weeks

Fatal case of newborn Lassa fever virus infection mimicking late onset neonatal sepsis: a case report from northern Nigeria

Only registered users can translate articles

Background: Lassa fever is a zoonotic viral infection endemic to the West Africa countries. It is highly fatal during pregnancy and as such reports of neonatal onset Lassa fever infections are rare in scientific literature. We report a

OBJECTIVE To identify the variables associated with sepsis-associated mortality, as well as to develop a severity risk score to predict death in very low-birth-weight (VLBW) neonates affected by nosocomial sepsis. METHODS Retrospective cohort study. Infants weighing ≤ 1500 g with neonatal sepsis of

Neonatal sepsis.

OBJECTIVE To determine whether plasma endothelin-1 (ET-1) relates to clinical manifestations of sepsis in the newborn, especially with systemic hypotension, acidosis, severe hypoxemia (which may represent pulmonary hypertension) and oliguria. METHODS Prospective study of 35 consecutive newborns with

Predictors of positive blood culture and deaths among neonates with suspected neonatal sepsis in a tertiary hospital, Mwanza-Tanzania.

BACKGROUND Neonatal sepsis is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in neonates. Appropriate clinical diagnosis and empirical treatment in a given setting is crucial as pathogens of bacterial sepsis and antibiotic sensitivity pattern can considerably vary in different settings. This study

Predictors of mortality in outborns with neonatal sepsis: A prospective observational study.

Neonatal sepsis-related mortalities are the outcome of a complex interaction of maternal-foetal colonisation, transplacental immunity and physical and cellular defence mechanisms of neonates.The objective of this study was to evaluate the risk factors of

Neonatal seizures in a rural Iranian district hospital: etiologies, incidence and predicting factors.

Only registered users can translate articles

Current study determined the overall incidence, common causes as well as main predictors of this final diagnosis among neonates admitted to a rural district hospital in Iran. This study was conducted on 699 neonates who were candidate for admission to the NICU. Study population was categorized in

Predictors of neonatal sepsis in developing countries.

BACKGROUND Neonatal infections are a major cause of death worldwide. Simple procedures for identifying infants with infection that need referral for treatment are therefore of major public health importance. METHODS We investigated 3303 infants <2 months of age presenting with illness to health

Efficacy of colistin in multidrug-resistant neonatal sepsis: experience from a tertiary care center in Karachi, Pakistan.

Only registered users can translate articles

Infections with multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) such as Gram-negative bacteria have high morbidity and mortality with limited treatment options. Colistin, an antibiotic active against MDRO, was rarely used due to frequent adverse effects, but its use has now been recommended

A rare case of neonatal sepsis/meningitis caused by Pasteurella multocida complicated with status epilepticus and focal cerebritis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Pasteurella multocida is normally present in respiratory and digestive tract of many domestic and wild animals, but is a rare pathogen in neonatal infection. Here we describe for the first time a case of meningitis complicated by status epilepticus and right parietal lobe cerebritis. The patient
