Early-onset sepsis may develop suddenly and rapidly, and mortality is high, particularly in premature babies and those with low birth weight (birth weight between 1500 and 2499 grams). Even with antibiotic treatment, the mortality rate for early-onset infection in low birth weight babies is up to 26%.
