Patient's question:
I have been experiencing dizziness recently, and I can't eat properly either. My mental state isn't great either. The hospital check-up revealed a blood issue. Could you please tell me what is the most common pathogen that causes neonatal sepsis?Doctor's answer:
Neonatal sepsis is generally caused by primary infection, often involving umbilical infection, respiratory tract infection, intrauterine infection, infection during delivery, or postpartum infection. The most common pathogen is Staphylococcus aureus. In the early stages, symptoms include decreased appetite, pale complexion, dry or hot hair, and recurrence of jaundice. Newborns have relatively weak immunity, so it is important to provide proper umbilical cord care for the baby and prevent the umbilical cord from getting wet during bathing. If the baby shows abnormal jaundice, seek medical treatment immediately. Bedding and linens used by the child should be frequently exposed to sunlight, and the room should always be well-ventilated. Carry the baby more often to let them bask in the sun.
