Twenty-nine cases of neonatal septicemia from Saudi Arabia are described. A high incidence of prematurity (45%) and congenital malformations (45%) were found as predisposing factors. The mortality was 45%, mainly due to severe malformations and late referrals. Thirty-one percent of the cases grew Salmonella enteritidis species and one case of Bacteroides fragilis septicemia and meningitis is reported. Only two of the organisms isolated were sensitive to ampicillin. The importance of doing studies on neonatal septicemia on a local basis is stressed.
本文描述了来自沙特阿拉伯的29例新生儿败血症病例。研究发现，早产（45%）和先天性畸形（45%）是主要的诱发因素。死亡率为45%，主要原因是严重畸形和转诊过晚。31%的病例培养出肠炎沙门氏菌，还报告了1例脆弱拟杆菌败血症和脑膜炎病例。分离出的微生物中只有两种对氨苄青霉素敏感。强调了在当地开展新生儿败血症研究的重要性。
