Early symptoms of septicemia in premature infants

summary

Neonatal sepsis is a serious infectious disease in the neonatal period. When the pathogen invades the blood of the newborn and grows and reproduces, it produces a systemic inflammatory reaction caused by toxin. Neonatal sepsis is often lack of typical clinical manifestations, but the progress is relatively fast, the disease is more dangerous, which has become a feature of neonatal sepsis. This is because the newborn's immune system is immature and the immune function is relatively poor, so it is very easy to have infection, and it is difficult to limit after infection, which leads to extensive inflammatory reaction in the whole body, and his disease progress is relatively fast. So what are the clinical manifestations of the early symptoms of septicemia in premature infants!

Early symptoms of septicemia in premature infants

The clinical manifestations of septicemia in preterm infants can be divided into early-onset and late-onset. Early onset usually occurs within seven days after birth. Infection usually occurs before or at birth. The main pathogens are E.coli and other G-bacteria. Multiple systems will be affected. The disease is dangerous and the mortality is very high. Late onset is 17 days after birth, infection occurs at birth or after birth, often with omphalitis, pneumonia and other local infection focus, the mortality is relatively low than early-onset.

Jaundice can sometimes be the only manifestation of sepsis, his performance is physiological, jaundice subsides, relatively delayed, jaundice deepens rapidly, or jaundice, subsides and reappears, can not be explained by other reasons. Hepatosplenomegaly is also one of its symptoms. Hepatosplenomegaly appears later, generally mild to moderate.

Neonatal sepsis symptoms also include bleeding tendency, ecchymosis of skin and mucous membrane, ecchymosis, pointing, bleeding at the eye of needle, hematemesis, hematochezia, pulmonary hemorrhage, and DIC in severe cases. There are also some neonatal septicemia will appear shock phenomenon, its complexion gray skin pattern, blood pressure, urine or no urine.

matters needing attention

The premature infants with septicemia must be given the key treatment at ordinary times. In the treatment of this disease, we must strengthen the nutrition supplement at the same time of special antibacterial treatment, and during this period, we must let the patients timely supplement fresh blood to supplement the consumption of the body.
