Objective: In this study our main goal is to evaluate the sociodemographic status of neonatal sepsis patients. Methodology: This Cross-sectional study carried out in the neonatal unit of BSMMU during the period from November January 2017 to December 2018. During the study total no of sample was 60 who were randomly collected from the neonatal ward. 30 newborns were taken as case and 30 were taken as control. Blood was collected in aseptic manner from the dorsum of the hand or anticubital vein. In three patients CSF was collected in between the L4 and L5. Results: During the experiment among the cases more number is LBW (83.3%) compare to that of normal birth weight (16.7%).prolonged rupture of membrane was only in 36.7% cases. Also, capillary refill time was 3 seconds in 4 patients (13.3%) of sepsis group, against none in control group. Conclusion: From our study we can conclude that Several maternal, foetal and environmental factors have been found to have predictive significance in detection of neonatal sepsis. Further study is needed for better outcome.
