To Study Prevalence of Organisms Causing Neonatal Septicemia in NICU in A Tertiary Care Hospital of Jhalawar
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Neonatal septicaemia is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in developing countries like India. Incidence varies from country to country but it is much higher in developing countries than in developed nations. Reasons are not only related to good prenatal, perinatal and post natal care and the efficient antibiotic policies in developed countries, but also to the high rate of home deliveries, often overseen by unskilled attendants, in developing countries. Appropriate intervention requires an early aetiological diagnosis. Microbial aetiology of neonatal septicaemia is diverse. Several studies on neonatal sepsis have documented the diversity of bacteria. The present study reiterates the earlier findings and emphasizes the importance of periodic surveys of microbial flora encountered in particular neonatal settings to recognize the trend. The present study was conducted in Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Jhalawar Medical College, Jhalawar from March 2016 to March 2017. Clinically suspected 298 samples were included in this study.
