Abstract
Abstract: Septicemia in new born remains a significant cause of mortality and morbidity in developing countries. Changing bacterial flora and emergence of resistant strains adds to the problem. Thus, neonatal septicemia requires accurate and timely clinical and laboratory diagnosis and proper management for better outcome. This study was aimed to find out the rate of neonatal sepsis in intramural newborns at our hospital, to correlate clinical profile with bacterial isolates in culture proven sepsis and determine the antimicrobial sensitivity pattern of microbial flora. The neonates were classified to have early or late onset septicaemia depending on their age at presentation. Risk factors were assessed, essential investigations sent by collecting samples under aseptic precautions. Empirical antimicrobial therapy was started according to antimicrobial guidelines in the NICU. The duration of treatment and hospital stay was noted in all neonates. Keywords:late onset sepsis, bacterial profile, staphylococcus, pseudomonas
