Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Study comprises of giving IVIG to half of the septic VLBW preterm neonates along with ongoing antibiotics and placebo to the other half. The immunoglobulin will be given for 3 days and neonates will be monitored for the results. The data will be analysed on the basis of blood culture results and outcome of the patients.
