[Features of sepsis in children today].

High risk groups of infants with regard to sepsis are described. The first high risk group includes newborn babies, infants of the first 3 months of age, premature babies, the second babies with congenital defects of the immune system (classified and unclassified defects), the third babies with acquired immune deficiency conditions due predominantly to the pathology of therapy. Septicemia remains the main clinico-anatomical form of sepsis in infants.

[Candidal sepsis in nursing infants].

Four observations of Candida sepsis in young infants are described, analysing the pathways for fungus penetration, discussing the organ pathology and features of morphological reactions in infants. In one case primary immunodeficiency of the cellular-humoral type was established.
