Patient's question:
How long does it take for a newborn blood culture? How long does it usually take to cure neonatal sepsis? What are the possible outcomes while undergoing blood culture?Doctor's answer:
Blood culture is an important method for clinical diagnosis of sepsis. Positive results have significant value in confirming the diagnosis and providing symptomatic treatment. However, according to literature reports, the positive rate of blood culture in China is only 17.8% and 18.4%. To improve the positive rate of blood culture and objectively reflect the actual situation of pathogens in the blood of sepsis patients, clinicians should accurately select blood culture, and the laboratory should carefully isolate and identify. It is recommended to consult the local hospital for detailed information on costs.
