| Summary: | One of the most significant causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality is represented by neonatal sepsis that often manifests itself as a systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). The progression of SIRS usually leads to multiple organ dysfunction, occasionally culminating in multiple organ failure (MOF).
The loss of endothelial barrier represents the unifying lesion of multiple organs in newborns affected by sepsis and the most important pathological change responsible for the evolution toward MOF in neonates.
The aim of this study is to present the most important pathological changes occurring in neonatal sepsis.
