Based on 139 cases collected in 36 months, the authors show that neonatal sepsis and meningitis with Gram negative bacilli represent 62.33% of confirmed neonatal sepsis (223 cases out of 6,784 neonatal hospitalisations). 53.96% of cases are manifest within the first 72 hours of life. 35.25% of these infants are preemies. The principal predisposing factors are: foul-smelling leukorrhea (45.23%), prolonged rupture of membranes (26.62%) and notion of resuscitation (36.69%). The most important clinical signs are: thermal dysregulation (47.48%), tonus disturbances (35.97%) and respiratory distress (25.90%). Sepsis make up 85.61% of cases; the principal germs isolated being: Acinetobacter (21.58%), Pseudomonas (15.83%), Escherichia coli (14.39%), Enterobacter (12.95%), Klebsiella (11.51%). Of the germs isolated, 27.78% were resistant to initial treatment with the association ampicillin gentamicin. Mortality rate was 46.76%. |
