Abstract The present study is aimed to determine serum and urine interleukin-8 (IL-8) levels in premature infants with late onset sepsis (LOS) and to evaluate if urine IL-8 is a useful test for LOS diagnosis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
For the study, patients were classified under two groups, as they had presented or not neonatal sepsis and these groups were compared according to variables gathered during the neonatal period and also with regard to the occurrence of sequels of neurodevelopment[atlasofscience.org]
In cases of EOS, the same bacterial pathogen was confirmed to be present in both amniotic fluid and cord blood.[biorxiv.org]

Abstract Neonatal sepsis is very common in preterm infants, and severe morbidity during the neonatal period is a major cause of osteopenia of prematurity. We examined the effect of neonatal sepsis on bone turnover markers in premature infants.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Blood samples for bone turnover markers were collected during the initial sepsis workup, and at the end of the first week of treatment, and were compared to the corresponding weekly changes in bone markers in the controls.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A sepsis workup may be needed to help identify the location of the infection and type of microorganism causing the infection. A sepsis workup may include the following procedures: Blood tests Lumbar puncture (also called spinal tap).[stanfordchildrens.org]
Except in the case of obvious acute viral bronchiolitis, the current practice in newborns less than 30 days old is to perform a complete workup including complete blood count with differential, blood culture, urinalysis, urine culture, and cerebrospinal[en.wikipedia.org]
As shown in Table 2, positive organisms in PS were: S agalactiae (n 2), E coli, Enterobacter aerogenes, Haemophilusparainfluenzae, Streptococcus gallolyticus, Sneathia sanguineges, and Actinomyces neuii.[biorxiv.org]

Prognosis and Treatment Sepsis in a newborn is treated with antibiotics given intravenously. Treatment is started even before laboratory results are available; a different antibiotic may later be chosen based on the results of laboratory tests.[hon.ch]

What is the prognosis? In cases of untreated neonatal sepsis, the mortality can be as high as 50 to 100%.[jfhc.co.uk]
At the lowest gestational ages, a large proportion of deaths with the poorest survival prognosis.[omicsonline.org]
Our study did not determine viruses as the etiology of sepsis. About 78.2% of infants with sepsis in our study had maternal risk factors such as a history of fever and of meconeal amniotic fluid.[degruyter.com]
Abstract The epidemiology, etiology and outcome of neonatal sepsis are changing over time.[nature.com]
Chronic - The management of apnea of prematurity always involves diagnosing and correcting other potential etiologies, before attributing a specific neonate's apnea to prematurity alone.[uichildrens.org]
Primary outcome measures were the incidence of the bacterial infection and its etiology in cases with suspected sepsis. The secondary outcome measure was the bacterial resistance to antibiotics used.[jcnonweb.com]
