Abstract

Purpose: Nosocomial sepsis is the most common acquired infection. Despite appropriate antibiotic treatment, mortality and morbidity of sepsis are still high. We aimed to evaluate the effect of pentoxifylline on prognosis of neonatal nosocomial sepsis in premature infants hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit.
