Early onset neonatal bloodstream infections in South African hospitals.
BMC Infect Dis
January 2025
Department of Paediatrics and Child Health, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Stellenbosch University, PO Box 241, Cape Town, 8000, South Africa.
Background: Neonatal sepsis is a leading cause of death in low- and middle- income countries (LMIC). Increasing antibiotic resistance in early onset (< 72 h of life) bloodstream infection (EO-BSI) pathogens in LMIC has reduced the effectiveness of the recommended empiric antibiotic regimen (ampicillin plus gentamicin).
Methods: We retrospectively analysed blood culture-confirmed EO-BSI episodes at nine neonatal units from three central and six peripheral hospitals in the Western Cape Province, South Africa between 1 January 2017 and 31 December 2018.
Understanding the Difficulties in Diagnosing Neonatal Sepsis: Assessing the Role of Sepsis Biomarkers.
J Crit Care Med (Targu Mures)
October 2024
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, "Victor Babes" University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Timișoara, Romania.
Background: Neonatal sepsis is a serious condition with high rates of morbidity and mortality, caused by the rapid growth of microorganisms that trigger a systemic reaction. Symptoms can range from mild to severe presentations. The causative microorganism is usually transmitted from mothers, especially from the urogenital tract, or can originate from the community or hospital.

BMC Pediatr
January 2025
Department of Neonatology, Al Wakra Hospital, Hamad Medical Corporation, Doha, Qatar.
Background: Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is the most common cause of neonatal early onset sepsis in term infants and a major cause of late onset sepsis in both term and preterm infants.
Aim: To estimate the incidence of GBSS among neonates born in Qatar between July 2015 and June 2020 (5 years). A secondary aim was to describe the outcomes of the affected babies.
The diagnostic accuracy of umbilical cord procalcitonin in predicting early-onset neonatal infection.
PLoS One
January 2025
Faculty of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital, Hue University, Hue City, Vietnam.
Introduction: To determine the threshold of umbilical cord blood procalcitonin for early-onset neonatal infection diagnosis.
Method: This prospective study was conducted on 126 neonates in the neonatal care unit of Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital, Vietnam, from June 01, 2023 to August 31, 2024. All neonates showed signs at birth or risk factors for early-onset infection (EOI) and were divided into two groups: EOI group and non-EOI group.
Evaluation of a novel serum marker, interleukin 27, in comparison to procalcitonin and C-reactive protein in the diagnosis of early-onset neonatal sepsis in a tertiary care center in north India.
Int J Crit Illn Inj Sci
December 2024
Department of Microbiology, Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India.
Background: Neonatal sepsis is a significant cause of mortality in children under 5 years of age globally, with the highest incidence reported in India. The challenges in diagnosing neonatal sepsis often result in the irrational use of antibiotics. The aim of the study was to determine the diagnostic efficacy of interleukin 27 (IL-27) as a novel biomarker for the early diagnosis of neonatal sepsis.
