[The forms of the clinical manifestation of a neonatal infectious bacterial syndrome with maternofetal transmission and the therapy used in the Neonatal Ward of the Baia Mare Maternity Hospital in 1983-1987].

Of a total of 24 newborn with neonatal bacterial infectious syndrome (NBIS), in 157 (65.12%) the infection appeared immediately at birth. In the rest of 84, the clinical manifestations appeared in the first 4 days of life followed in decreasing order by systemic manifestation without location on pneumonia and bronchopneumonia were the most frequently diagnosed, an organ, septicemias and meningitis, infectious jaundice, etc. Two antibiotics were associated in the severe forms, and antiinfectious monotherapy was used in the milder ones. In the cases with unfavourable clinical evolution, the antiinfectious treatment was used. The severe forms of NBIS were among the most cases of death at this age. NBIS manifested, therefore, under various forms, imitating other noninfectious affections. During diagnosis, mother's anamnestic data, and very often the clinician's intuition were very important, before the bacteriologic corroboration.
