Neonatal sepsis is relatively serious.
Neonatal sepsis refers to a systemic reaction that occurs when pathogens invade a newborn’s bloodstream, grow and multiply, and produce toxins. If sepsis infection in newborns is not actively controlled, it may also lead to serious complications and may even lead to death. So it is relatively serious.
Newborns have relatively poor resistance, humoral immune function and cellular immune function are not yet mature, if infected with sepsis, the pathogen is easy to enter the body with the blood circulation into the various tissues, resulting in multiple organ damage, such as easy to meningitis, osteomyelitis.
If the infection is more serious, it may also lead to toxic shock, the emergence of diffuse intravascular coagulation, and may even cause adverse effects on the respiratory system and the circulatory system.
The morbidity and mortality of neonatal sepsis are relatively high, so if a newborn baby has symptoms of sepsis, it is important to go to a regular hospital in time, and actively use the appropriate treatment plan, so as not to delay the condition.
