title: [5-year evaluation of bacteriological samples (CSF, blood cultures, urine) in neonatology].
abstract: We report the result of the bacteriological samples performed for 5 years (1980-1984) in neonates, referred to the neonate unit of the hospital of Clermont-Ferrand, for infection (2,894 infants). The CSF tests show aseptic meningitis in 4% of the cases and in 0.4% meningitis with bacteria on the direct examination and in culture. We emphasize the interest of carrying out the soluble bacterial antigen assay (Strepto B, Coli K1) to find out the bacteria involved in the meningitis. 13.7% of the infants have one or several positive blood culture. The germ is a E. Coli in 30% of the cases, and less frequently a streptococcus D. They are few listeria. In 1984, the frequency of streptococcus B is increasing. Septicemia due to anaerobic germs or Candida Albicans emerge during the stay in the unit. Among 12,704 bacteriological urine analysis, we compare the real urinary infections (in which the enterobacteria are the main strain: 75.3%) and the significant bacteriuria.
