Abstract
Introduction: Septicemia is characterized by variable systemic physiologic changes triggered by infection. This provides a challenge to clinicians who manage critically ill neonates and children. Among neonates, sepsis is the most common admitting diagnosis. Methodology: Fifty neonatal cases with septicemia were involved in this study. This study was carried out in the Department of Paediatrics, Pacific Medical College and Hospital, Bedla, Udaipur. Results: In the present study we found that, Klebsiella spp. (52%) most prevalent among all gram negative bacteria and Staph. aureus (50%) prevalent among all gram positive bacteria followed by other. Conclusion: It can be concluded that for the selection of appropriate antibiotic therapy, it is necessary to check antibiotic sensitivity patterns in periodic intervals. In the view of discussion, the usage of antibiotic in the hospital must be reviewed according to standard antibiotic policy. The prompt use of antibiotics is certainly to save new born from septicemia.
