In the infants who had temperatures >7.5degC at two times, 14/66 (1. percent) also showed other symptoms of sepsis.

In the infants who had temperatures >7.5degC at two times, 14/66 (1. percent) also showed other symptoms of sepsis.

Most of the babies that were included were born at the SMRU hospital, with only a few having been delivered at their homes (5/174, 2.9%) or in Mae Sot hospital (3/174, 1.7 percentage). The median weight of birth of the infants was 3.17 kilograms (range 1.42 to 5.08 kg), 12/172 (7.0 percent) were tiny in terms of gestational age. Sepsis that is early-onset and occurs in neonates. The majority of infants who were enrolled were born in the SMRU clinic, with a few were birthed at homes (5/174, 2.9%) or in Mae Sot hospital (3/174, 1.7 percent). The median age at which patients were admitted to SCBU in patients who had been diagnosed with EONS was one calendar day (range from 0 to five days). Neonatal sepsis with early onset. The most frequent reason for enrolling in the study was temperature of more than 38degC (Table 1. ). The median age at which patients were admitted to SCBU for patients with clinically diagnosed EONS was one-day (range between 0 and five days).

Table 1. The most common reason for enrollment in the study was fever of 38 degrees or more (Table 1. ). Clinical characteristics of 174 neonates identified with EONS and enrolled in the study. Table 1. Clinical feature : Number in infants* ( percent) Temperature >38degC 104 (59.8) >37.5degC at two occasions, separated by at-least one hour. (37.9) Perfusion issues (5.9) Poor perfusion (2.9) The respiratory distress is 15 (8.6) Persistent the glucose imbalance (1.7) Abdominal dilation (2.) Abdominal distension (1.2) Abdominal distension 2 (1.2) Bilious aspirates (1.7) In the stool of an infant 1 (0.6) The clinical features of 174 newborns who were diagnosed as having EONS and who were enrolled in the study. *Some babies featured more than one feature , hence the that the total number is higher more than 174. Clinical characteristic feature Number of babies* ( percent) Temperature >38degC 104 (59.8) >37.5degC at two occasions, separated by at least an hour. (37.9) Perfusion problems 5. (2.9) Reflux distress (8.6) Persistent sugar imbalance (1.7) Abdominal dilation 2. (1.2) Aspirates from the bile 3 (1.7) The presence of blood in stool of the infant 1 (0.6) Only 5/174 (2.9 percentage) infants displayed at least two clinical manifestations of EONS. Some babies were equipped with multiple features, so the their total is greater over 174.

One these infants also had temperature greater than 38degC. Only 5/174 (2.9 percent) infants showed at least two clinical signs of EONS. In the infants who had an temperature greater than 38degC 8/104 (7.7 percent) also displayed additional clinical signs of sepsis. One of the infants also had a temperature of 38 degrees Celsius or more.

Of the infants who had temperatures >37.5degC twice, 14/66 (21.2 percent) had additional symptoms of sepsis. In the infants who had temperatures of more than 38degC, 8/104 (7.7 percent) also showed other signs of sepsis that were clinically evident. So 147/174 (84.5 percent) of cases of EONS were diagnosed with fever only. In the infants who had temperatures >37.5degC at two times, 14/66 (21.2 percent) also showed other symptoms buy of sepsis. Investigations. Thus 147/174 (84.5 percent) of cases of EONS were confirmed by fever alone. Blood tests were positive for 40/171 patients and in 39 cases (22.8 percent) the results were believed to be contamination.

Investigations. Escherichia coli was found in one blood sample (1/171; 0.3%). The blood cultures showed positive results in 40/171 cases , and in 39 cases (22.8 percent) they were thought to be contaminated. The median volume of blood sampled in blood cultures was 0.8 milliliters (SD 0.5 mg).

Escherichia coli was detected in one blood sample (1/171; 0.3%). A total of 135 punctures to the lumbar region were completed successfully (77.6 percent of all babies being enrolled). The average amount of blood used to be tested for blood quality was 0.8 milliliters (SD 0.5 milliliters). Of the 135 punctures 130 patients, 130 had a blood cell count done and 13 (10.0 percent) had the WBC count of more than 50×10 9 /L. A total of 135 punctures to the lumbar region were performed successfully (77.6 percent of the children who were enrolled). There was a pattern of CRP levels that were significantly higher in these infants when compared with those with an CSF WBC with E. Of those 130, 130 had a count of the cells and 13 (10.0 percent) had an WBC count greater than 50×10 9/L. The DNA of E. coli was identified in three different samples (one that was taken from the infant in which E. There was a tendency for an increase in CRP the infants compared to those with CSF WBCs of E. E. coli was cultured through blood).

E. coli DNA. Three infants were at term and had normal weight at birth. It was detected in three of the samples (one from which came taken from the infant in which E. bacteria was isolated in blood).

All three presented before the age of 72 with an illness that was not associated with fever or any other signs of sepsis that could be seen in the clinical.
