AB  - Premature Rupture of Membranes (R.P.M.) is often described in association with 
      both amniotic fluid infections and the high risk of respiratory distress sindrome 
      and of neonatal infections. But amniotic fluid infections, as underlined by some 
      authors, may be a cause of R.P.M. as well as a consequence. Several attempts were 
      made to formulate guidelines for early detection and treatment of neonatal 
      septicaemia. In such a contest we considered 10 infants with R.P.M.: 9 treated 
      with preventive antibiotics, 1 treated without any preventive antibiotics. We 
      monitored the leucocyte and trombocyte counts as well as superficial swabs taken 
      from the eyes, ears, throat, nose, umbilicus; clinical findings such as 
      temperature, weight, gastrointestinal and breathing symptoms, jaundice were also 
      monitorised in them all. The group treated with preventive antibiotics didn't 
      show any compliance. The patient treated without any antibiotics showed signs and 
      symptoms of septicemia on 7th day of life.
