Neonates with clinical signs of sepsis should have a complete blood count (CBC), differential with smear, blood culture, urine culture (not necessary for evaluation of early-onset sepsis), and lumbar puncture (LP), if clinically feasible, as soon as possible. Neonates with respiratory symptoms require chest x-ray.
Abstract. Sepsis remains a significant cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity, especially in low and middle-income countries. Neonatal sepsis presents with nonspecific signs and symptoms that necessitate tests to confirm the diagnosis. Early and accurate diagnosis of infection will improve clinical outcomes and decrease overuse of antibiotics.

CXR findings include increased lung volumes, mild cardiomegaly, prominent vascular markings, fluid in the interlobar fissures, and pleural effusions. Respiratory distress syndrome.
Sep 29, 2022 · Neonatal sepsis is divided into two groups based on the time of presentation after birth: early-onset sepsis (EOS) and late-onset sepsis (LOS). EOS refers to sepsis in neonates at or before 72 hours of life ( some experts use seven days), and LOS is defined as sepsis occurring at or after 72 hours of life [2]. Etiology.
