RODRIGUEZ-DIAZ, Lil Katia; RODRIGUEZ-GONZALEZ, Ismary  e  PEREZ-SANTANA, Yuleiny. Proven sepsis on Klebsiella oxytoca in a newborn. Rev.Med.Electrón. [online]. 2024, vol.46  Epub 13-Fev-2024. ISSN 1684-1824.

Neonatal sepsis is one of the main causes of neonatal deaths in developing countries, with data estimating more than one million deaths around the world every year. The aim is to present case a case, given the infrequency of late neonatal sepsis by Klebsiella oxytoca. This is the case of a pre-term female patient, with low weight at birth, who at 17 days of birth began with deterioration of her clinical status due to hypo-activity, skin paleness, morose suction and increase in abdominal circumference, accompanied by severe hematological dysfunction given by anemia, thrombocytopenia and neutropenia, which required several transfusions with blood products and combined antimicrobial therapeutic (first with meronem and amikacin, then with ciprofloxacin and vancomycin). She was also treated antifungals, diuretics, vasoactive drugs, mechanical ventilation and erythropoietin. She was consulted with Pediatric Cardiology and Infectious diseases. Finally she had a satisfactory evolution, with effective maternal breastfeeding. Sepsis increase in hospitalized neonates and bacterial resistance are public health problems. It is important to recognize the risk factors for sepsis in this group of patients, for their timely treatment.
