Neonatal septic arthritis in a tertiary care hospital: a descriptive study
Conclusion
Prematurity and anemia still appear to be important risk factors for neonatal septic arthritis. As there is changing trend toward gram-negative infections, attention has to be given toward preventing nosocomial and community-acquired infections. This is very important in premature infants who are susceptible for infection when they are kept in resuscitative units in hospitals.
