A 38-week, appropriate-for-gestational age boy born to a 31-year-old primagravida mother and a 36-year-old father by emergency cesarean delivery due to failure-to-progress and fetal distress 26 hours after spontaneous rupture of membranes with clear amniotic fluid is admitted electively to the NICU for possible severe bacterial infection as the mother developed an intrapartum fever. Pregnancy was normal. Apgar scores were 9 and 9 at 1 and 5 minutes, respectively.
