  Diagnostic indecision leads to increased morbidity due to delayed treatment and overuse of empiric broad-spectrum antibiotics 5. [biorxiv.org]

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]

Infants showing no signs of neonatal sepsis will have a sepsis workup done only if concerning factors are shown. Only a small percentage of infants will have a sepsis workup done. [en.wikipedia.org]

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]

• Mycoplasma Hominis

  Of the 30 control infants, 23 PCR/Sanger-Seq were negative while 7 had a single bacterial species identified by sequencing: Lactobacillus crispatus (n 3), Mycoplasma hominis (n 2), Lactobacillus iners (n 1), and Prevotella bivia (n 1). [biorxiv.org]
