dc.description.abstract | "A fatal infection called neonatal sepsis can strike infants as early as 28 days after birth.
It contributes remarkably to newborn morbidity and mortality, especially in developing
countries. Neonatal sepsis has a complicated pathophysiology that is influenced by
several variables, including the immune system of the host, the pathogenic organism,
and any underlying medical problems. The most common causative agents of neonatal
sepsis are bacteria, such as Group B Streptococcus (GBS), Escherichia coli (E. coli),
and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Neonatal sepsis, though, can also be brought on by viruses
and fungi. Depending on the newborn's age, the etiologic agent, and the intensity of the
infection, the clinical signs and symptoms of neonatal sepsis can change. There are two
types of sepsis: early-onset (EOS), which strikes during the first 72 hours of life, and
late-onset (LOS), which strikes after that time. The accurate diagnosis of neonatal
sepsis depends on the newborn's clinical appearance and the outcomes of laboratory
investigations, like blood cultures. The causative organism and the seriousness of the
infection determine the newborn sepsis treatment. Antibiotics are usually required. The
entire neonatal sepsis treatment process is difficult, particularly in developing nations.
Antibiotic resistance, a lack of resources, a lack of awareness, etc. are a few of the
difficulties. Despite the difficulties, there is a growing amount of research on successful
newborn sepsis prevention methods and treatment approaches. We can contribute to a
reduction in the number of infants who acquire and succumb to this dangerous infection
by putting these precautions and tactics into practice" | en_US |
