Abstract
Neonates with sepsis may have concurrent urinary tract infection (UTI), which may be asymptomatic or have nonspecific symptoms. Objectives: to determine the contribution of UTI to neonatal sepsis and to assess different risk factors that could be associated with UTI. Hospital based cross sectional study was carried in the neonatal ward of private tertiary care teaching hospital. All consecutive male and female neonates admitted to the NICU for UTI were included. Neonates with congenital anomalies and those whose parents refused to be enrolled were excluded. The recruited participants were subjected to full history taking including prenatal, natal and postnatal history. For all study subjects’ detailed examinations and appropriate investigation done. Total study subjects included in study were 39. 87.2% of the neonates developed sepsis, 76.9% required central venous catheter (CVC), 61.53% required NIV. The most common organism isolated from urine and blood culture was Klebsiella pneumonia. Majority of the neonates developed sepsis and neonatal sepsis was found to be significantly associated with CVC and NIV.
