title: [Epidemiological analysis of congenital infections in newborns].
abstract: The aim of this study was to review 2567 deliveries in the District Hospital in Białystok in 1997. In 2388 term labours and 179 preterm ones we noticed the congenital infections; in 90 (3.8%) and in 58 (32.4%) newborns respectively. The main etiologic factors of infections were Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis in term newborns and Staphylococcus epidermidis and Escherichia coli in preterm babies. Clinical signs of the urinary tract infection were most frequent in mature infants, whereas the sepsis was quite common in premature newborns.
