Dr Divakar Damodar Rao

Abstract :

The incidence of neonatal septicemia is 1–4 per 1000 live births in developed countries with considerable fluctuation over time and geographical location6. The reported incidence of neonatal sepsis varies from 7.1 to 38 per 1000 live births in Asia7 and from 6.5 to 23 per 1000 live births in Africa8. Studies from India, Pakistan, Thailand and Malaysia reported incidence of neonatal sepsis ranging from 27–69%. Incidence of neonatal sepsis among hospitalized is approximately 5–6 per 1000 live births and incidence of meningitis approximately 0.7 – 1.0 per 1000 live births9. A Sincere effort has been put to understand the find the birth weight and gestational age in cases of clinical and blood culture positive sepsis.
