[Septicaemia in the neonatal and infant period (author's transl)].
The paper reported about septicaemia in the neonatal and infant period. Continuing former investigations by Kienitz in the same pediatric clinic we have got a survey from 1933 to 1974. In the last years we saw increasingly more infections with gram-negative organisms, especially by Pyocyaneus with a severe prognosis. The prognosis did not improve during the last 10 years. The over all mortality was 34-35%. Frequency, symptoms, problems of species and resistance were described. Besides that we reported about an outbreak of enterobacter in our neonatal unit.
