Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

\- Any infant from birth to 1 month of age with a diagnosis of definite or probable sepsis will included in the study. A diagnosis of definite sepsis is made when a pathogenic agent is isolated from the blood or cerebrospinal fluid in the presence of clinical signs suggestive of sepsis. Probable sepsis is diagnosed when positive cultures are lacking in the presence of signs suggestive of sepsis and 2 positive screening parameters (abnormal CRP, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, platelet count, total leucocytic count, absolute neutrophilic count, or immature/total neutrophils ratio \>0.2). When signs of sepsis are existent but both sepsis screening parameters and cultures are negative, this is deemed no sepsis

You may qualify if:

  • Any infant from birth to 1 month of age with a diagnosis of definite or probable sepsis will included in the study.

You may not qualify if:

  • gestational age less than 37 weeks.
  • perinatal asphyxia.
  • infants with more than 1 episode of sepsis, only the first one was included.
  • Infants with Dysmorphic features suggestive of chromosomal abnormalities.
  • neonates under a course of antibiotics prior to appropriate blood sampling.
