About this document

Neonatal Sepsis by Kiboi Shadrack is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Neonatal sepsis is a systemic response to infection in newborns, classified into early onset (within the first 3 days) and late onset (after 3 days). It is more prevalent in low-birth-weight infants and those with maternal risk factors, with common pathogens including Group B streptococcus and E. coli. Treatment involves supportive care and broad-spectrum antibiotics, with prevention strategies focusing on good antenatal care and infection control practices.
