  • Title: Acinetobacter septicemia: a threat to neonates? Special aspects in a neonatal intensive care unit.
    Author: Regev R, Dolfin T, Zelig I, Givoni S, Wolach B.
    Journal: Infection; 1993; 21(6):394-6. PubMed ID: 8132370.
    Abstract:
    Acinetobacter is one of the organisms responsible for nosocomial infections in intensive care, neurosurgery, burn and hemodialysis units. There are only a few reports on Acinetobacter infections in neonatal intensive care units. Over a 31 month period, nine cases of Acinetobacter sepsis occurred in our unit, with four deaths. There was a cluster of four cases within 3 days. In this study the English literature on this pathogen is reviewed and it is suggested that Acinetobacter should be added to the list of organisms causing severe nosocomial infection in neonatal intensive care units.
