AB Septic  neonates  can  have  dramatic  clinical  presentations  characterized  by  respiratory  failure,  persistent  pulmonary  hypertension  of  the  newborn  (PPHN),  disseminated  intravascular  coagulation  (DIC),  hypotension,  or  multiorgan  failure.  More  challenging  for  health  care  providers,  however,  are  more  commonly  encountered  patients  with  subtle  and  nonspecific  signs  and  symptoms  or  risk  factors  for  sepsis.  Considering  the  deleterious  consequences  of  a  missed  or  delayed  diagnosis,  a  high  index  of  suspicion  is  warranted  when  undertaking  evaluation  of  neonates  for  potential  sepsis.
