N1 - Funding Information: Attracting additional funding and increasing capacity is essential to meet research needs and must be matched with improved scientific reporting; the forthcoming Strengthening Publications Reporting Infections in Newborns Globally (SPRING) standards are an important step towards this goal. However, well funded research in neonatal infection is essential. In health facilities, high quality surveillance data can provide important information on cause 6 and antimicrobial resistance. 7 But such data require significant resources, including strengthening laboratory quality control and assurance measures, and use and appropriate interpretation of molecular diagnostics to detect pathogens (including viruses). More population-based data are needed; these are difficult to acquire because most neonatal deaths occur in the first few hours after birth when access to care may be limited. Results of the Aetiology of Neonatal Infections in South Asia (ANISA) study are awaited, and forthcoming work includes the Child Health and Mortality Prevention Surveillance Network funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in south Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.
