title: [Neonatal sepsis].
abstract: We noticed coagulase positive staphylococcus is the most common pathogen in the neonatal sepsis in our neonatology unit. We followed 22 cases with neonatal sepsis. Blood cultures revealed coagulase staphylococcus in 9 cases, coagulase negative staphylococcus in 6 cases, Pseudomonas spp. in 5 cases, E. coli in 1 case, Klebsiella spp. in 1 case. The most common symptom was apnea. CRP positivity was noted in 15 cases (68.2%) while increase in immature/total neutrophil ratio was observed in 12 cases (54.5%). However, we detected leukopenia in 2 cases (9.1%). Also, the birthweight of the cases died due to neonatal sepsis were below 2000 gr.
