We performed a case-control study of Serratia marcescens incidence in the neonatal, intensive care unit of a governmental Gaza Strip hospital from January to December 2005. S. marcescens was detected in the blood of 159 confirmed nosocomial cases of septicaemia, 70 (44%) neonates died due to S. marcescens infection and 89 recovered. The main clinical symptoms were hypothermia 38%; jaundice 42%; Apgar score 4 at 1 min in 29% of neonates; and Apgar score 5 at 5 min in 5%. Risk factors significantly associated with S. marcescens infection were birthweight
