Brief Summary:
Neonatal Sepsis is one of the most common causes of death in preterm infants. Therefore, up to 80% of very low birth weight infants receive antibiotic therapy in their first week of life. Antibiotic therapy is one of the most important influencing factors for the establishment of the intestinal microbiome, which in turn modulates neonatal immune development. In this pilot study, it will be investigated, if antibiotic therapy in the first week of life influences the vaccination response of preterm infants.
Detailed Description:
The aim of the study is to compare antibody titers against Hepatitis B, Polio, Pertussis, Haemophilus influenza B, Tetanus, Diphteria and Pneumococcus in very low birth weight infants (VLBWI) infants who received antibiotic therapy in their first week of life and who did not. In this pilot study, 20 VLBWI infants will be included (10 per group). Infants will be matched fo age and gender.
