Patient's question:
When born, there was nothing wrong, but later the eyes turned yellow. Please analyze it for me. The baby is less than a month old. Both parents are healthy and have no medical history.Doctor's answer:
Drawing blood for bacterial culture is the gold standard for diagnosing neonatal sepsis. Neonatal sepsis is a serious disease that threatens the health of newborns, with a high mortality rate, mostly caused by bacterial infections. The main symptoms of this disease include fever, poor responsiveness, lack of appetite, crying, and movement, hypothermia, and failure to gain weight. In severe cases, it may even lead to convulsions and apnea. If any of these symptoms appear, medical attention should be sought immediately.
