Sepsis study takes such great importance, is constantly developing modern means of diagnosis and treatment. In relation to the time distinguish maternal-foetal infection (early sepsis) is clinically evident from birth or the first seven days of life and has its debut in the intrauterine life, and postnatal infection (late sepsis) starts after birth, the source of infection being either maternal germs (ill or carrier mother) or environmental, often intra-hospital germs.
