Sepsis can develop within 24 hours of birth, and in newborns, the issue is called neonatal sepsis. A baby is considered a neonate up to 90 days after delivery. There is a higher risk of neonatal ...

Complications of Untreated Neonatal Sepsis. If neonatal sepsis is not diagnosed and treated promptly, it can lead to severe complications that may endanger the infant’s life.

Newborns in poorer countries, where access to healthcare and sterile equipment and facilities can be difficult, are particularly at risk. The incidence of neonatal sepsis is an estimated 1.8 times ...

Neonatal sepsis caused by intestinal pathogens is a serious complication of early infancy that may often be lethal, especially for premature infants. But is this linked to prenatal antibiotics ...

A genetic signature in newborns can predict neonatal sepsis before symptoms even start to show, according to a new study. The study— Predictive gene expression signature diagnoses neonatal ...

A study presented at ESCMID Global 2025 has uncovered the potential of interleukin-6 (IL-6) as a powerful diagnostic biomarker for the early detection of sepsis in high-risk patient groups ...

Neonatal sepsis can be predicted even before symptoms appear with the help of a genetic signature, according to a new study. “Neonatal sepsis is caused by the body’s irregular response to a ...

Stillbirth or neonatal death or sepsis within 4 weeks after delivery (the neonatal composite primary outcome) occurred in 1540 of 14,658 infants (10.5%) in the azithromycin group and in 1526 of ...
