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.

This is very important in premature infants who are susceptible for infection when they are kept in resuscitative units in hospitals.
