An optimal prophylaxis of neonatal sepses/inf ections in preterm newborns in order to prevent the infective episode, rather than curing it, envisages the use of lactoferrin as nutritional supplement irrespective of the type of alimentation adopted. Also indicated are the daily doses, to be administered via oral route according to the body weight of the premature neonate.
