Patient's question:
Recurring chills or even shivering, high fever can be remittent or intermittent, a rash based on petechiae, joint pain affecting large joints, and the joint symptoms are quite prominent, sometimes with redness and swelling. It was later diagnosed as sepsis. I want to ask if sepsis can be transmitted to the child?Doctor's answer:
After reading your description, I'm not quite sure if you're pregnant or if the child has already been born. If the child has already been born, there is no problem as long as you check carefully to ensure the child is not infected. If you are pregnant, you need to understand a few things about congenital sepsis. It refers to bacterial infection of the fetus before birth. In most cases, it is transmitted from the mother's vagina to the uterus in reverse. It could also be transmitted through the blood of the uterine placenta and umbilical cord, or it could be directly infiltrated from the outside.
