| Abstract |
|
To determine causative organisms and their antibitotics sensitivities in neonatal sepsis, we made
a review on the 26 cases of neonatal sepsis. Patients were admitted to the special care nursery of
Gospel hospital of Kosin Medical College during the period of 2 years from January 1985 to December
1986 and the results were:
1) The most frequently growing organism was Staphylococcus epidermidis (34.6%) and drugs of
choice were cephalothin and vancomycin with the sensitivities of over 90%. The sensitivity of
methicillin was 38%.
2) The significant predisposing factors were TPN and instrumentation, especially among the
Staphylococcus epidermidis sepsis.
3) Staphylococcus aureus grew out in the blood from the outboms and its incidence was 30.8% of
all patients.
4) Amikacin was the drug of choice when gram negative rods were suspected for the cause of
sepsis. |
