It has been found that newborns (under 1 month old) are at increased risk for infections of various types. This is a matter of concern for health care providers and policy makers. Newborns, for instance, that get a blood infection can get sick very quickly. Infections may appear at any time during the first month. Most importantly, signs of illness during the first 7 days of life require special attention. This is most common cause of death among newborns. In addition to this, other most common causes of neonatal deaths are (a) “preterm birth complications”, and (b) “birth asphyxia”. According to an estimate, these causes account for nearly 80% of all global neonatal deaths [1]. In view of these facts, a newborn baby, with “potentially life-threatening problems”, is in an emergency situation. It, thus, requires immediate diagnosis and management, delay in problem identification and/or providing the correct management may be fatal. This research paper aims to investigate into the key issues the health care providers need to take into consideration while managing illness, especially infection, among newborn. The work is based on secondary data; sources have been quoted in the reference section. In terms of methodology of data (which are largely ‘qualitative’ in nature) analysis, descriptive research technique has been employed by the author, involving “deskbased research”. The author concludes that efficient management of illness among newborn is one of the global health issues that requires specific attention

 

Before the ascendancy of the Internet in Scientific communication, there was a keen traffic in the reprint request (RR). As an Editor mentioned in 1986, “Onuigbo (was) the only active researcher that I have traced in the RR area.” Therefore, this paper on childhood utilizes reprints on malignant lymphoma but with the variable ages defined as “at most 14 years,” up “to 15 years,” “under 16 years,” “under age 17 years,” and “younger than 20 years.” In particular, I have used the number 20 to analyze cases occurring in a developing community

using a histology data pool as was recommended in Birmingham (UK) for epidemiologic analysis. It was found that the age incidence preponderated in the older age groups with a 3:1 male:female ratio.
