; At risk (ruling out sepsis): Often we “suspect” sepsis based on risk factors and clinical features, but the clinical course (rapid recovery within few hours) and “screening tests” are not suggestive; we should not label these as “suspected sepsis”. They are Definitions and Nomenclature more like “rule out sepsis”. of Neonatal ...

Neonatal sepsis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Globally, neonatal sepsis accounts for 8% of all neonatal deaths in the first week of life and 37% of all deaths from the 2nd thto 4 weeks of life (1). In hospital settings, the incidence of culture proven neonatal sepsis is 16 per 1000 live births in India (2).
Neonatal sepsis can be early onset (≤ 3 days of birth) or late onset (after 3 days). Early-onset sepsis usually results from organisms acquired intrapartum, and symptoms appear within 6 hours of birth. Late-onset sepsis is usually acquired from the environment and is more likely in preterm infants, particularly those with prolonged ...
