We should do neonatal screening test after recovery of sepsis. Materials and methods: We measured serum TSH and T4 in 64 neonates who had sepsis. Result: 56.3% were male and 47.3% were female. 51% had sign and symptoms of sepsis. Respiratorty distress was the most common sign. 78% required to use oxygen. Some had abnormal laboratory test, including 46% positive PCR and 3% positive blood culture. Mean TSH and T4 values were 5.69 miu/ml and 86.3 ng/ml, respectively.
