The major clinical presentation includes Diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy, central diabetes insipidus, sensorineural deafness, urinary tract problems and neurological difficulties. Diabetes mellitus is the usually first manifestation of the disease at the age of 6 years followed by optic atrophy at around 11 years of age [2]. Additional morbidities include hypogonadism, infertility, hypopituitarism [3], cerebellar ataxia, peripheral neuropathy, dementia, psychiatric illness, and urinary tract problems [4-6].","PeriodicalId":93160,"journal":{"name":"Academic journal of pediatric and neonatology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47421696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Neonatal sepsis is an important cause of mortality and morbidity and is a life-threat ening emergency where prompt antibiotics treatment is essential for favorable outcomes. It accounts for 30-50% of total neonatal deaths each year. Neonatal sepsis is classified into early (EOS) and late onset (LOS) on the basis of presentation within 72 hours or after 72 hours to 30 days of life respectively.
