Clinical Information for Bacterial sepsis of newborn (P36)

Neonatal Sepsis - Blood infection that occurs in an infant younger than 90 days old. Early-onset sepsis is seen in the first week of life and most often appears within 24 hours of birth. Late-onset occurs after 1 week and before 3 months of age.

Pregnancy Complications, Infectious - The co-occurrence of pregnancy and an INFECTION. The infection may precede or follow FERTILIZATION.

Puerperal Infection - An infection occurring in PUERPERIUM, the period of 6-8 weeks after giving birth.

Sepsis - Systemic inflammatory response syndrome with a proven or suspected infectious etiology. When sepsis is associated with organ dysfunction distant from the site of infection, it is called severe sepsis. When sepsis is accompanied by HYPOTENSION despite adequate fluid infusion, it is called SEPTIC SHOCK.

Sepsis-Associated Encephalopathy - Acute neurological dysfunction during severe SEPSIS in the absence of direct brain infection characterized by systemic inflammation and BLOOD BRAIN BARRIER perturbation.

Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome - A systemic inflammatory response to a variety of clinical insults, characterized by two or more of the following conditions: (1) fever >38 degrees C or HYPOTHERMIA <36 degrees C; (2) TACHYCARDIA >90 beat/minute; (3) tachypnea >24 breaths/minute; (4) LEUKOCYTOSIS >12,000 cells/cubic mm or 10% immature forms. While usually related to infection, SIRS can also be associated with noninfectious insults such as TRAUMA; BURNS; or PANCREATITIS. If infection is involved, a patient with SIRS is said to have SEPSIS.

Burkholderia Infections - Infections with bacteria of the genus BURKHOLDERIA.

Lemierre Syndrome - A superinfection of the damaged oropharyngeal mucosa by FUSOBACTERIUM NECROPHORUM leading to the secondary septic THROMBOPHLEBITIS of the internal jugular vein.

Burkholderia - A genus of gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacteria originally classified as members of the PSEUDOMONADACEAE.
