As a scholarly journal, Paediatrica Indonesiana plays an important role in disseminating the latest advances in Pediatrics and Perinatal Medicine. On this occasion, we are willing to publish a collection of pediatric sepsis papers.

This supplementary issue comprising a selection of the highest rated papers presented at the First Malang International Conference of Pediatric 2022 entitled “Update on Sepsis Management in Pediatric”, which was held on September 16-17, 2022 by Pediatric Department, Universitas Brawijaya, Malang, East Java.

I hope this collection will give additional value to our readers and create more awareness on pediatric sepsis.
