Abstract: Objective To explore the clinical features of neonatal septicemia caused by Lester. Methods The clinical features of septicemia caused by Lester bacteria in 9 neonates confirmed by blood culture during from January 2011 to June 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Results All of the 9 cases were premature and cesarean delivery. The main clinical manifestations were cyanosis (7 cases), fever (5 cases), anhelation (4 cases), hypomyotonia (4 cases), and respiratory distress (3 cases). Blood cultures in 9 cases were detected Lester bacteria with 3 cases found in sputum and 1 case in both sputum and cerebrospinal fluid. Drug sensitivity test showed that Lester bacteria were sensitive to ampicillin, penicillin, and sulfamethoxazole. All of the 9 cases adjusted anti-infective medications after the diagnosis of Lester septicemia by blood culture, and all of them were cured or improved, and discharged. Conclusion Neonatal Lester infection is a serious infectious disease. Fever in pregnant women should alert clinicians to Lester infection. Early detection of pathogens and targeted treatment can help improve prognosis.
