METHODS Prospective observational study was carried out in Department of Paediatrics, Regional Institute of Medical Sciences hospital during a period of 2 years (September 2019-August 2021). RESULTS A total of 109 patients were included in the study, of which 80 were community-acquired and 29 infants were hospital-acquired cases of late onset sepsis (LOS). The major risk factors were low socioeconomic status, prematurity, low birth weight, a history of intervention (mechanical ventilation, umbilical venous catheter, total parenteral nutrition, resuscitation) and lack of exclusive breastfeeding. The most common presenting features were decreased feeding, lethargy and respiratory distress. Blood cultures were positive in 33% of patients. Klebsiella was the most common hospital-acquired pathogen while Escherichia coli was the most common isolate in community-acquired cases. Thrombocytopenia was the most common complication. The in-hospital mortality rate was 13.7%. CONCLUSION Low socioeconomic status, low birth weight, prematurity, invasive interventions and lack of exclusive breastfeeding are the major risk factors of LOS. The clinical signs and symptoms are varied and subtle. The mean C-reactive protein in the hospital-acquired group was significantly higher as compared to the community-acquired group. There is substantial morbidity and mortality, resulting in an increased toll on resources, therefore, an aggressive preventive and treatment approach is recommended for late onset sepsis.","PeriodicalId":17521,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tropical Pediatrics","volume":"69 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10277901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
