Patient's question:
Hello, a newborn who is less than a month old has sepsis. Can it be cured? Is this hereditary or acquired?Doctor's answer:
Septicemia is an infectious disease, meaning it is caused by the bacteremia spread due to external transmission, which is essentially systemic bacteremia. Although the treatment can be quite challenging, it is entirely curable. The most important aspect is to have antibiotics that are highly effective against the patient, which can be determined through susceptibility tests to use one or two antibiotics simultaneously.
