Track infections in newborns to improve care
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study collects information about newborns in participating hospital units who have an infection confirmed by a lab test. The goal is to better understand infection patterns so care for newborns can improve.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is a newborn in a participating neonatal (newborn) unit
- Your baby has had an infection episode with a positive lab culture test

This study checks how a newborn’s body changes over time in an intensive care unit, using routine monitoring. Your child may benefit by being closely observed, and the results may help improve care for future newborns.
This study looks at the types of bacteria that cause infections in newborns and which antibiotics work best to treat them. By joining, you help doctors learn how to better protect babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
This study looks at a new way to decide if a newborn might have an infection and needs treatment. It may help avoid unnecessary treatments for babies who are not really infected.
This study is testing a new blood test to see if it can help doctors decide when to use antibiotics for newborns who may have a late-onset infection. The goal is to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use.
This study is testing if giving more skin-to-skin care (called Kangaroo Care) to very early-born babies in the NICU can reduce serious infections and the spread of resistant bacteria. It is for babies born before 32 weeks in certain hospitals.
This study looks at how the body's immune system responds to infections like malaria and other germs, especially in young children and newborns. By comparing children with and without fever, and mothers and their newborns, researchers hope to understand how co-infections affect health.
