| dc.description.abstract | Septicemia is an important cause of mortality morbidity among babies in neonatal care units. The Special Care Baby Unit, University Paediatric Unit of the Colombo North Teaching Hospital, Ragama experienced two out breaks of Klesbiella, between February and May 1996. Suspects the transmission of Klesbiella would have occurred as a result of contamination of intravenous fluid. Suggests use of commercially prepared dextrose as against making it for new born babies as a preventive measure. (letter to editor) | en_US |
