Bacteriological investigation allowed identifying the etiological factor of sepsis in the blood of children at the early age only in 33.3% of cases; in other clinical material - in 48.3% of cases. Staphylococcus was the dominated microflora in the development of sepsis. In other clinical material Staphylococcus as leading etiological factor competed with gram-negative flora. Given the difficulty of determining, using bacteriological method, the etiologic factor in infant patients with sepsis, especially in its septicemic form, there is a need to find the most informative, less time-consuming diagnostic methods. We have used the indirect diagnostic method by considering the presence in the blood of antigen-connected lymphocytes (ACL) which react with the bacteria antigens - causative agents of the disease. The ACL method showed that gram-negative bacteria performs as a dominated microflora.
