摘要
Late preterm neonates have unique susceptibilities to infection. The closed setting of the neonatal ICU (NICU) and the immunologic immaturity of premature infants set the stage for the development of nosocomial infections. This article discusses infections that might be seen in this population and gives options for diagnosis and treatment.
