"Until meningitis is ruled out through lumbar puncture, septic very-low-birth-weight infants at high risk of mortality should receive empiric antimicrobials with high delivery through the blood-brain ...

Neonatal sepsis remains a critical condition in intensive care, characterised by a systemic infection that can lead to rapid clinical deterioration in newborns. Early identification is vital, and ...

Early-onset neonatal bacterial infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, especially in preterm newborns. It is most often caused by ascending infection via the maternal genital tract.

The 2026 Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines strongly recommend performance improvement programs and immediate antimicrobial therapy.

An international clinical trial co-led by UCL (University College London) researchers will evaluate much-needed new antibiotic combinations for newborn babies with sepsis. The trial, which has started ...

The most popular data are vital signs, which include such things as blood pressure, heart rate, respiration rate, temperature, oxygen saturation and so forth. Often these data are fed into the EHR ...

Sepsis leads to life-threatening organ failure due to dysregulated host responses to infection and presents uniquely across age groups. Neonatal sepsis, affecting infants in their first 28 days, ...

A new study into sepsis in neonatal babies has uncovered the secrets of the bacteria’s success in causing this life-threatening condition. Using genomic sequencing, they have found how certain strains ...

A genetic signature in newborns can predict neonatal sepsis before symptoms even start to show, according to a new study. The study, led by University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University ...
