Abstract

Neonatal late-onset sepsis is a serious condition due to its high prevalence in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), especially in newborns. This paper aims to highlight the importance of studies that evaluate the prevalence, factors and etiological agents associated with neonatal sepsis. It is a review of the literature in a systematic way, in the databases Medline, Pubmed, Lilacs, SciELO and VHL (Virtual Health Library) involving principally Brazilian studies. According results obtained in this study, the incidence of neonatal late-onset sepsis varies geographically in several states of Brazil among hospitalized newborns. The development of new research about the occurrence of late-onset neonatal sepsis is relevant for the introduction of actions in neonatal health and offers subsidies for the adequacy of care practices to newborns.
