DETECTION OF DIFFERENT BACTERIOLOGICAL SPECIES RESPONSIBLE FOR EARLY-ONSET NEONATAL SEPSIS
Maged Nasri MackenGergis;
Abstract
Neonatal seps1s rema1ns a major cause of morbidity and mortality
111 neonatal period, with high incidence in developing countries 5.6 per
I 000 live births.
The aim of this study is to determine the prevelance of causative organisms causing early onset-sepsis in neonates delivered vaginally. Our study did not include the isolation of anaerobic organisms.
Our study was carried on 120 neonates. Surface swabs from the body of the babies were taken ti•mn the nasopharynx, umbilicus and eyes. Also, high vaginal wabs were taken from their mothers and from the suction set used in their resuscitation. The neonates were prospectively followed up in the Ist week of life for clincial evidences of septicemia and the septicemia neonates were investigated by blood culture.
The septic group were 8 neonates with (5)males and (3) females. Their mean gestional age 34.43 ± 1.35 (wk.) and their mean body weight
2.93 ± 0.94 (Kg).
All stLidied cases were subjected to history, clincial examination and blood culture. The predominant risk factors were the prematurity, the multiple vaginal examination, PROM and maternal fever more than
38.5"C.
The clinical manifestations found in septic neonates were variable and the most common clinical manifestions were poor feeding, respiratory problems, jaundice, lethargy, and dia1Thea.
