AB In  general,  the  signs  and  symptoms  of  illness  are  vague  and  nonspecific  in  neonates  making  the  identification  of  specific  diagnoses  challenging.  The  survival  of  premature  infants  has  produced  a  population  of  children  whose  corrected  gestational  age  (chronological  age  since  birth  in  weeks  minus  the  number  of  weeks  of  prematurity)  makes  them,  in  many  ways,  similar  to  neonates.  Neonates  present  to  the  emergency  department  (ED)  with  conditions  ranging  from  normal  to  critical.
