Patient's question:
A colleague's child recently underwent a check-up and was found to have sepsis. His parents want to ask about the treatment for neonatal sepsis.Doctor's answer:
Neonatal sepsis is a systemic inflammatory disease caused by the invasion of pathogens and the production of toxins in the blood. When the disease is detected, timely control of infection and antibiotic treatment should be initiated, along with addressing complications such as correcting acidosis or hypoxemia, promptly correcting shock, and managing cerebral edema. Gradually clearing infectious foci, maintaining body temperature, and providing sufficient heat and fluids are also important. Autoimmune therapy can also be employed.
