A descriptive, prospective and cross-sectional study of 69 patients with neonatal infection, born in "Mariana Grajales Coello" Teaching Southern Maternal Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, was carried out from January, 2012 to December, 2013, aimed at characterizing them according to clinical epidemiological aspects. Among the main results the early onset of infection (72.5%), preterm low weight (82.6%), systemic infections (59.4%), vaginal infection as the most frequent maternal risk factor (47.8%), respiratory failure (50.7%), as well as the gramnegative pathogens as the main causative factors prevailed.
