ABSTRACT
A descriptive and cross sectional study of 48 newborns with infection of early onset, assisted in the Neonatology Service of "Orlando Pantoja Tamayo" Teaching General Hospital in Contramaestre, Santiago de Cuba province, was carried out from January to July of 2012, with the objective of characterizing them according to some variables of interest for the investigation. The information was processed with the program SPSS, version 11.5 and the percentage was used as summary measure. In the series bronchopneumonia (91,6%), as well as vaginal infections, catheterism and the ventilation in all the members prevailed; it was also obtained that 60,4% of the organisms were isolated from blood culture and most turned out to be gramnegative organisms.REFERENCES
