Abstract

Background: The clinical presentation of neonatal SEPSIS/meningitis is non-specific. Because of this and also since SEPSIS with and without MENINGITIS during neonatal period has high mortality and morbidity rate, one should have high index of suspicious in order to diagnose and treat patients with these problems promptly and reduce the incidence of complications and mortality in these infants. Materials and methods: In this study of existing data type, we reviewed the records of 180 patients who were admitted with the persumptive diagnosis of neonatal SEPSIS/meningitis during a two-year period in Mofid hospital. We focused on epidemiologic data, risk factors, clinical presentation, laboratory findings, and complications.Results: Of 180 patients, positive blood, urine, and CSF cultures were reported in 19(11%), 23(12.7%), and 6(3.3%), respectively. Among those with positive blood culture; M/F ratio was 1.7, early-onset and late-onset SEPSIS were reported in 42% and 58%, respectively. The most common organisms grown in blood cultures were; Staphilococcous epidermis (47%), Staphilococcous aureous (10.5%), pseudomonas (10.5%). The most .prevalent clinical signs/symptoms were: refusal of feeding, jaundice, fever, lethargy, and respiratory distress. Blood transfusion was achieved in 2 cases with positive blood culture due to hyperbilirubinemia. PROM was presented in 4 cases (21%) and mortality was seen in 2(10%). MENINGITIS was documented in 10.5% of the patients with positive blood cultures.Conclusion: Since the clinical manifestations of SEPSIS/meningitis is non-specific, thorough investigations are highly recommended in case of any suspicion to MENINGITIS.
