INFECTION
Objective :
- Student must be able to understand the important of
neonatal infection
- Student must be able to recognize risk factor which
predispose new born infant to infection
- Student must be able to diagnose neonatal infection
- Student must be able to implement infection control
to prevent infection
Specific Immunity :
- is mediate through lymphocytes
- B cells
- T cells
Neonatal lymphocytes owing to a reduced production of
cytokine
4
stimulate
cells
plasma cells
produce Ig
- Ig M produce at 15 week gestation
- Ig G produce at 20 week gestation
- At birth : Ig minimal & very low
- Only Ig can cross the placenta
- Maternal Ig G birth
fall in months
T cells : - produced in fetal bone marrow
migrates to
the thymus
There are 3 function :
- Produce citokine
- Supplies the immune respon of other cells
- Kill target cells
5
- complement
- interferon
- lactoferin
- lysozyme
6
Origins of infections :
1. In utero (congenitally)
2. Intrapartum
3. Postnatally
Congenitally (intrauterine)
I. Transplacentally
- First semester : TORCH (infection)
- Toxoplasmosis
- Others e.g coxsaches B virus, varicella, HIV
- Rubella
- CMV
- Herpes simplex type 2
- Second semester : syphilis
- Third semester :
1. Viral : Varicella, Hepatitis B, coxsachoe B, HIV,
echovirus.
2. Bacterial : - group B haemolyticus, streptococcus
- histeria monocytogenes, haemophilus influenza
pneumococcus
3. Protozoa : malaria

Aquired
In the nursery (nasochomial) :
1. Bacteria : coagulate_negative staphylococcus,
staph aureus, group B streptococcus
coliform, salmonella, shigella,
anaerobic bacteria, pseudomonas.
2. Viruses : coxsachie, rotavirus, RSV, adenovirus,
echovirus
3. Fungal : candida albicans, candida parapsilosis.

Neonatal Sepsis
Early Onset
< 72 hours of age
Acquired around birth
Vertical transmission
from mother to baby
Late Onset
> 72 hours of age
Acquired from the
environment
Nosocomial or
hospital acquired
Chorioamnionitis
Maternal fever during labor 38C
uterine tenderness
leucocytosis
fetal tachycardia
High risk of neonatal sepsis

Laboratory Tests
Cultures to identify bacterial pathogen
blood, csf, urine, other
Hematological tests
WBC count
Platelet count
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)
Other tests
C- reactive protein
31
Blood Culture
Lumbar Puncture
35
Urine culture
Useful in neonates
with late onset sepsis
Sterile specimen
obtained by sterile
catheterization or by
suprapubic bladder
aspiration.
36
Other cultures
Surface cultures
Endotracheal cultures
Gastric aspirate cultures
Poor Sensitivity and Specificity
37
neutrophil
38
39
C- Reactive Protein
Acute phase reactant: synthesized in 6 to 12 hours
Normal: < 1.6 mg/ dl on day 1, then < 1.0 mg/ dl
Falsely elevated with asphyxia, meconium
aspiration, PROM
May not be positive early (only 60% sensitivity)
Repeated tests more useful (up to 84% sensitivity)
Negative Predictive value: 90%
40
Micro-ESR
Measures ESR in vertically placed capillary tube in
1 hour
Normal values increase with age (due to increasing
fibrinogen and falling hematocrit)
Normal: day of life plus 3 mm/ hr, up to a maximum
of 14 mm/ hr
Poor sensitivity and specificity
False positive tests with hemolysis
False negative tests with DIC
41

43
Treatment: antibiotics
Choice: tailored to organisms prevalent in region
USA:
Early onset sepsis: Group B strep / E.Coli
Ampicillin and Gentamicin
Indonesia?
45
Ampicillin 50 mg/ kg
every 12 hours in 1st week of life
every 8 hours from 2- 4 weeks
PLUS
Gentamicin once daily.

Hand washing
Early feeding
Maternal breast milk
Decrease use of broad spectrum antibiotics
Decreased use of invasive procedures
Proper sterilization procedures
