The present study was designed to determine the incidence and causative
organisms of bacterial sepsis in neonates by using blood culture techniques
in the infected neonates and to evaluate the contribution made by C-reactive
protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), white cell count
(WCC) and haemoglobin in mothers. Of this CRP, ESR, WCC were very high,
but hemoglobin count was low in most of the sepsis mothers. Assessing
CRP, ESR, WCC is a more reliable way to indicate sepsis and it was noted
that the gram-negative bacteria are responsible for septicemia in maximum
number of cases.
