Abstract
Umbilical cord nonseverance (UCNS) is the practice of leaving the umbilical cord attached to the placenta after delivery. Limited case reports exist revealing adverse outcomes of UCNS. We report a case of neonatal omphalitis associated with <i>Escherichia coli</i> bacteremia and urinary tract infection after UCNS.
