What is neonatal sclerosis?

summary

Neonatal sclerosis, also known as neonatal scleredema, neonatal scleredema, cold injury syndrome, is a syndrome caused by cold injury, infection or premature birth. It is characterized by subcutaneous fat sclerosis and edema. Most of them occur in the cold season, and are common in severe infection, asphyxia, premature delivery and low birth weight infants. What is neonatal sclerosis? Next, I'd like to share my views with you.

What is neonatal sclerosis?

Scleredema neonatorum usually occurs 7-10 days after birth. If the baby's body temperature does not rise, it can be below 35 ℃. In severe cases, it can even be below 30 ℃. The body core temperature (Anal temperature) may be lower than the body surface temperature (axillary temperature). Scleredema occurs in the skin and subcutaneous tissue,

The skin is light red or dark red. Infants with severe circulatory disorders may be pale gray or cyan purple. Scleroderma first appeared in the lower limbs, buttocks, cheeks and lower abdomen, and then to the upper limbs and the whole body. Sometimes it's hard but not swollen, and the skin is pale, like a rubber,

It only affects the thigh and buttock, and often occurs in the scleroderma caused by infectious diseases. Severe patients may have shock, renal failure, pulmonary hemorrhage and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).

matters needing attention

To prevent the newborn from suffering from multiple sclerosis, the most important point is that when the expectant mother is pregnant, in addition to the healthy diet, she should also pay attention to the sun, which helps to prevent the occurrence of multiple sclerosis. Especially in families with multiple sclerosis, although multiple sclerosis is not a genetic disease, in any case, genes still play an important role in the severity of the disease.
