ABSTRACT
Parenteral nutrition admixtures prepared in the incubator for sick newborn infants from three wards were cultured for bacteria and fungi. Of the total samples of parenteral nutrition solution being studied, 4.7 per cent had fungi and 14.1 per cent had bacteria. Solutions prepared in the intensive care unit, in the ward for sick newborn, and in the ward for sick preterm revealed fungal contaminations at about 11.1, 5.8 and 0.0 per cent respectively. Bacterial contaminations were higher and had a percentage of 11.1 from the intensive care unit, 23.5 from the ward for sick newborn and 10.3 from the ward for sick preterm. It was concluded that another more sterilized technique should be implemented for reduction of such a high rate of bacterial and fungal contaminations in the parenteral nutrition admixtures.
