Among 1,049 admissions in the newborn department, during 18 months, authors found 148 positive blood cultures to staphylococci epidermidis (EPN). Recovery of EPN from blood should not be dismissed as a contaminant. 11 newborn were considered to have septicemia by EPN, that means 1.04% of all admissions and 5.6% of babies admitted in intensive care. They find that catheters (100%), assisted ventilation (45.4%) and previous surgery (36.3%) are significant predisposing risk factors. Clinical and laboratory pattern was not different of other sepsis except its late onset. Two patient died. Vancomycin is considered the drug of choice.
在新生儿科18个月期间收治的1049例患儿中，作者发现148例血培养表皮葡萄球菌（EPN）呈阳性。从血液中检出EPN不应被视为污染物而不予理会。11例新生儿被认为患有EPN败血症，占所有入院患儿的1.04%，占重症监护病房收治患儿的5.6%。他们发现，导管（100%）、辅助通气（45.4%）和既往手术（36.3%）是重要的易感危险因素。除发病较晚外，其临床和实验室表现与其他败血症无异。两名患者死亡。万古霉素被认为是首选药物。
