Patient's question:
Other than the three days before the due date, there were cesarean births, twins, and two brothers! On the fourth day of birth, it was noticed that they were eating less, only 3-4 times a day, with each feeding only 5 milliliters. Both were the same! That day, they were transferred to the children's hospital, where the doctor said their faces were very yellow and suggested blue light treatment! On the fifth day, chest X-rays were taken at the hospital, and now it has been 11 days. The doctor said that the second child's blood transmitted staphylococcus, and they need to be hospitalized for 12 full days before they can be discharged! The first child has no problems. Now both children can eat 20 milliliters each time, and they are fed every 3 hours! Breathing is normal, and their faces are also normal! The detailed examination results showed no pneumonia!Doctor's answer:
Staphylococcus aureus infection can potentially cause jaundice symptoms in newborns, but most cases occur under severe infection conditions, as severe infections may lead to hemolysis, where a large number of red blood cells are destroyed. After red blood cells are destroyed, they release bilirubin, which is formed when heme is compressed. This ultimately results in jaundice. At this time, obvious infection symptoms may also occur, such as high fever. Treatment is generally based on antibiotics, such as methicillin and ceftriaxone, which are both antibiotics. To know if it is effective, it still depends on the results of blood culture.
