Patient's question:
My child was just born a short while ago, and yesterday they were tested for sepsis, but the blood culture results came back negative. What does this mean?Doctor's answer:
Sepsis must be treated promptly and can be diagnosed through blood culture in a regular hospital. Sepsis is a serious infectious disease caused by pathogens entering the bloodstream. It refers to the acute systemic infection resulting from pathogens or opportunistic pathogens entering the bloodstream, growing, adapting, and producing toxins. Currently, the diagnosis of bacterial hemorrhagic influenza in newborns holds significant value for confirming neonatal sepsis, which is an acute systemic severe infectious disease caused by pathogens entering the infant's bloodstream, growing, adapting, and producing toxins. The mortality rate is high, so if there are any physical symptoms, medical treatment for sepsis should not be ignored.
