Abstract Summery 98 Neonatal Sepsis is defined as a clinical syndrome in an infant 28 days of life or younger, manifested by systemic signs of infection and isolation of a bacterial pathogen from the blood stream. It is the most common cause of neonatal mortality with incidence of 0.3-2 per 1000 live births in the United States and mortality rate of 20% up to approximately 50% in Egypt. Neonatal sepsis can be subdivided according to its time of presentation in to: Early-onset sepsis (EOS) occurring at or before 72 hours of life, and late-onset sepsis. |
