Article Abstract
Maternal and neonatal infections pose a significant public health challenge, particularly in developing countries like Benin. This retrospective study investigates the frequency and determinants of maternal and neonatal infections in Benin during 2022, utilizing data from six reference hospitals. The study includes 123 neonates suspected of infection, analyzing factors such as birth weight, breastfeeding practices, clinical delivery parameters, and laboratory-confirmed infection rates. Findings reveal that 32% of suspected cases were confirmed infections, with a higher prevalence among premature newborns and those born in specific hospitals. The study emphasizes the need for improved diagnostic facilities, infection control practices, and awareness among healthcare workers and pregnant women. Recommendations for future research include broader geographic coverage and enhanced training programs.

This study identified cardiac comorbidities, prematurity, low 5-min Apgar score, and prolonged postoperative intubation as independent risk factors for NIs following surgical repair of EA. We believe that these results would be of great value in clinical practice. They provide a valuable framework for the early identification of high-risk neonates, who would be targets for enhanced infection surveillance, appropriate perioperative strategies, and reinforced hygiene protocols.

Purpose: Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) is a major contributor to preterm birth and is associated with increased risks of maternal and neonatal complications. The aim of this review is to summarize current antibiotic strategies and explore emerging adjunctive therapies, including probiotics, amnioinfusion, and fetal membrane repair, to improve the management of PPROM.
Methods: Relevant literature on antibiotic therapy for PPROM and emerging treatment strategies was systematically retrieved from PubMed.
