    Neonatal fungal sepsis is a significant cause of late-onset sepsis, particularly in preterm and low-birth-weight infants.

  • 2

    The study analyzed 26 neonates with fungal sepsis, revealing common clinical features like respiratory deterioration and thrombocytopenia.

  • 3

    Functional echocardiography showed substantial cardiovascular involvement during active infection, indicating right ventricular dysfunction.

  • 4

    After antifungal treatment, hemodynamic parameters improved, although left ventricular systolic function remained relatively preserved.

  • 5

    The study highlights the need for further research to compare hemodynamic characteristics of fungal and bacterial sepsis.
