The etiology of hospital-acquired infection BSI was more diverse than that of community-acquired infections and was related to underlying risk factors. The crude mortality rate was 5.7%. For children admitted to the neonatal ward, the mortality was 17.6%, but declined (τ = -0.469, P = 0.004) over the study period. There was a decreasing trend of pediatric BSI and mortality over last 20 years, which was associated with pneumococcal immunization and antimicrobial prophylaxis for high-risk patients.

In contrast to perinatal exposure, there are no clear guidelines for the management of postnatal HSV exposure. This review focuses on the risk of HSV infection following postnatal exposure and suggests an approach to management. While many infants are protected by transplacentally transferred maternal anti-HSV antibodies, infants of seronegative mothers with significant postnatal HSV exposure may be at risk of severe disease. Individual risk assessment, appropriate investigations, and empiric acyclovir treatment should be considered in postnatally exposed newborns, even if asymptomatic. In all cases, close clinical follow-up is indicated, as well as education of families on the symptoms of neonatal HSV disease. Finally, measures to reduce the risk of postnatal HSV infection should be considered, such as discouraging individuals, particularly those with a history of recurrent cold sores, from kissing newborns. Ceftazidime-avibactam is an effective agent for the treatment of tuberculosis (TB) but requires frequent administrati
