Late-onset sepsis (LOS) is common and life-threatening problem in neonates, particularly among infants requiring intensive care. LOS can be caused by a variety of organisms; gram-positive organisms are most common and include staphylococcal species, group B or A Streptococcus, and Enterococcus. A...
Neonatal sepsis is traditionally classified as early-onset sepsis (EOS) and late-onset sepsis (LOS) disease categories. This paradigm was based on observed epidemiological data from high income settings. However, increasing availability of microbiology results from diverse settings challenges these assumpti...
That’s been an important question because the onset of sepsis usually includes what doctors call a “cytokine storm,” when the body’s immune system produces a massive inflammatory response. Some patients die during this initial phase. But others survive, including a significant number of patient...
Late onset sepsis infections contribute a significant proportion of the morbidity and mortality of hospitalized infants, especially in very low birth weight infants. Although it is fairly clear which infants are at higher risk of developing sepsis, it is less clear whether a standard for diagnostic ...

Although late-onset sepsis (LOS) is a major cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality, biomarkers evaluated in LOS lack high diagnostic accuracy. In this prospective, case-control, pilot study, we aimed to determine the metabolic profile of neonates with LOS. Urine samples were collected at the...
Ward, MD, from the University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor, writes that this study is "perhaps the most authoritative investigation exclusively involving humans and confirming the onset of immunosuppression developing during septic shock or severe sepsis." The observations "provide compelling ...
The incidence of neonatal late-onset sepsis (LOS) is inversely related to the degree of maturity and varies geographically from 0.61% to 14.2% among hospitalised newborns. Epidemiological data on very low birth weight infants shows that the predominant pathogens of neonatal LOS are coagulase-negative...
Incidence of meningitis in late onset sepsis Background: Bacterial sepsis and meningitis continue to be major causes of morbidity and mortality in newborns, particularly in premature infants. The present study was undertaken to know the incidence of meningitis in neonates with late... R Bhagat,SQ ...
