Overview

The World Health Organization (WHO) has developed guidelines for the management of infants aged 0-59 days with serious bacterial infections (sepsis, meningitis, and pneumonia) in hospital and also outside hospital if referral is not possible.

The guidelines now include recommendations on diagnosis as well as first line empiric antibiotic treatment of the most critically ill infants aged 0-59 days with suspected sepsis, meningitis and pneumonia.

The recommendations are intended for a wide audience involved in the management of serious bacterial infections in infants aged 0-59 days.

 

Includes a web annex, featuring the evidence base and GRADE tables.
