We report extremely preterm twins who developed late-onset Escherichia coli sepsis in the second postnatal week within a short time of each other. The asymptomatic twin was not treated initially, and within 2 days developed life-threatening septicemia and meningitis, followed by other serious morbidity. Occurrence of late-onset sepsis in a twin should prompt concurrent investigation and consideration of presumptive treatment of the apparently asymptomatic co-twin.
我们报告了一对极早产儿，他们在出生后第二周内相继发生迟发性大肠杆菌败血症。最初无症状的双胞胎未接受治疗，在 2 天内发展为危及生命的败血症和脑膜炎，随后出现其他严重并发症。双胞胎发生迟发性败血症时，应及时对另一个看似无症状的双胞胎进行同时检查和假定治疗。
