decembermist · Credits: 41468 Preparing for: Kerala PG My Scrapbook

in western set up it'll b grp B strep

rakhijain · Credits: 14697 My Scrapbook

so decembermist u say its e.coli give your views

mickeydoct · Credits: 1088 My Scrapbook

Its definitely E.Coli... and anyways why r we bothered about western setups here when it is not mentioned.

decembermist · Credits: 41468 Preparing for: Kerala PG My Scrapbook

For sure, group B streptococcal infection is so commom in Wesern set up, but in India the answer is always E. coli...

khalidahmed62 · Credits: 213 Preparing for: MRCPCH Part 1 My Scrapbook

Sure it's Group b strep

We were taught GBS- Group b streptococcal is the most common cause of neonatal sepsis. However also important are staph and Gram negatives such as E Coli.

I am really not sure whether the data is the same worldwide.

hi people,

I guess while answering particular quetion, we shud always take into the consideration of the exam.Here we r answering a question set by MRCpch by UK.thus answer shud be b stretococci in their context.(Op Ghai Tb is for Indians...so E coli is the answer, but for Uk people Its wrong answer)

The aim of this study was to compare incidence, bacteriology and associated mortality of neonatal sepsis in a neonatal unit, after (2001-2004) and before (1995-1996) implementation of universal screening for prevention of Group B Streptococcus diseases. Early onset sepsis incidence decreased from 2.5 to 1 per 1000 live births (p = 0.03), with a decrease in the proportion of Group B Streptococcus cases from a 54% to 11% (p < 0.01). In late onset sepsis, coagulase-negative Staphylococci continued to be the predominant pathogen (49% of cases), and Candida albicans emerged as the second etiologic agent in the postscreening period. Sepsis associated mortality was low in both periods (2.2%).

Such an explanation is standing at Medline

An other side is Strep Agalactica is answer ==> Group B Streptococci

Early onset sepsis ==> Group B Streptococcus diseases
late onset sepsis ==> coagulase-negative Staphylococci
