INTRODUCTION Infection – important cause of neonatal
and infant morbidity and mortality
2% of fetuses are infected in utero 10% of infants have infections in the 1st
month of life

INTRODUCTION Neonatal Infections are unique
1.)infectious agents can be transmitted from the mother- transplacentally -ascending bacterial infections – maternal chorioamnionitis, PROM, resuscitation at birth
2.)newborn are less capable of responding to infections
3.)clinical manifestation vary and include subclinical , mild to severe manifestations

INTRODUCTION Neonatal Infections are unique
4.)maternal infection is often undiagnosed during pregnancy
5.)Wide variety of etiologic agents
6.)Immature and Very Low Birth weight remain in hospital for a long time which puts them at continuous risk for acquired infections

- Maternal infection that is the source of transplacental infection is often undiagnosed during pregnancy because the mother was either asymptomatic or had nonspecific signs and symptoms.
- Bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoans and mycoplasmas.

CHORIOAMNIONITIS Criteria
Fever (Temperature of > 37.8 C) plus two or more of the following Maternal tachycardia (>100 bpm) Fetal tachycardia (>160 bpm) Uterine tenderness Malodorous or cloudy amniotic fluid Maternal WBC count >15,000 cells/cubic mm

The neonate is unable to respond effectively to infectious hazards because of deficits in the physiological response to infectious agents!
The neonatal neutrophil or polymorphonuclear (PMN) cell, which is vital for effective killing of bacteria, is defective in chemotaxis and killing capacity.
Decreased adherence to the endothelial lining of blood vessels reduces their ability to marginate and leave the intravascular area to migrate into the tissues.

Once in the tissues, they may fail to deaggregate in response to chemotactic factors.
3Also, neonatal PMNs are less deformable; therefore, they are less able to move through the extracellular matrix of tissues to reach the site of inflammation and infection.

The limited ability of neonatal PMNs for phagocytosis and killing of bacteria is impaired when the infant is clinically ill.
Lastly, neutrophil reserves are depleted easily because of the diminished response of the bone marrow, especially in the premature infant.

*Premature rupture of membranes (PROM), preterm rupture of membranes, prolonged rupture of membranes
*Prematurity*Maternal urinary tract infection (3rd trimester)*Maternal Chorioamnionitis (WBC>18)

DIAGNOSISThe diagnosis of systemic infection in the
newborn is difficult to establish on the basis of clinical findings alone.
Any infant who suddenly changes for the worse should be suspected for sepsis.
![Page 29: Neonatal Sepsis](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081421/568165db550346895dd8f093/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
LABORATORY DIAGNOSISBlood cultureCSF cultureUrine cultureCBCAcute phase reactants: ESR and CRPChest X-ray

SEPSIS SCREEN Because none of the diagnostic tests for
sepsis is able to identify infants with proven sepsis with reasonable accuracy, investigators have used combinations of laboratory tests to enhance the identification of infected neonates.
Because of its high negative predictive accuracy, it can provide a greater reassurance that an infection is not present.

SEPSIS SCREEN A positive sepsis screen result was
defined as two or more abnormal test results.Sensitivity = 93%Positive predictive accuracy of 39%
< 2 abnormal results = 99% negative predictive accuracy

TREATMENT Initial empiric therapy for early onset sepsis
Ampicillin plus aminoglycoside (usually gentamicin or cefotaxime)
Antibiotic therapy should be tailored according to its sensitivities L. monocytogenes -> Aminoglycoside + ampicillin Enterococci -> Amoxicillin + aminoglycoside or
vancomycin GBS -> Penicillin or ampicillin S. aureus -> Penicillase resistant penicillins or
cephalosporins; MRSA – vancomycin, clindamycin P. aeruginosa -> Ticarcillin, carbenicillin and an
aminoglycoside; Most are sensitive to Ceftazidime Gram negative enteric organisms ->Generally sensitive
to aminoglycoside

TREATMENT Initial empiric therapy for late onset
sepsisAmpicillin plus cefotaxime; vancomycin +
gentamicin; vancomycin+cefotaxime With minimal or no focal infection
usually 7-10 days With meningitis caused by group B
streptococcus or gram negative enteric bacilli at least 21 days
