Core Tip	Topical antiseptic agents play a crucial role in the prevention of nosocomial infections in infants admitted to neonatal intensive care unit. There is a paucity of good quality studies to guide us on the most effective and safe antiseptic preparation, concentration and combination for use in neonatal skin disinfection. Further research is urgently needed to identify the most appropriate and safe antiseptic use in neonates including preterm and very low birth weight infants.
