Soft tissue infection as a rare cause of neonatal sepsis

Abstract

Umbilical venous and peripherally inserted central venous catheters are often used in preterm infants, but complications include late-onset catheterassociated infections. Conversely, other sites of infection have to be taken into account in the case of clinical deterioration. In this Image in Science and Medicine paper, we report on a preterm infant with a rare cause of neonatal sepsis.
