Neonatal infection.
Neonatal septicaemia and meningitis remain major causes of mortality and of neurodevelopmental sequelae, especially in premature and low birthweight babies: early diagnosis with appropriate antimicrobial and supportive treatment is essential to minimize the risk of complications. Congenital viral and protozoal infections also require diagnosis in the neonatal period so that long-term surveillance and management for complications can be planned.
