Patient's question:
My baby is just one month old and needs to have a heel blood test for newborn disease screening. The screening results for both tests were negative. I just want to ask if negative is normal?Doctor's answer:
Negative indicates normal, meaning no infection. Positive indicates abnormal. Your child is perfectly normal. There are no newborn diseases, and it has no impact on health. Negative is normal; if positive is abnormal, these are auxiliary screening tests. There are no genetic diseases, so you can rest assured. Your baby is fine. It is recommended to pay more attention to your child's development in daily life and to focus more on your child's care.
