summary

There are many factors leading to neonatal sepsis, I will introduce the related causes of neonatal sepsis to my friends.

Does Neonatal Omphalitis cause septic symptoms?

1. The normal uterus of premature rupture of membranes is full of bacteria. The fetus is protected by the barrier of the membranes. Once the membranes are ruptured, the bacteria may enter the uterus retrogradely to reproduce. The longer the water breaking time is, the more bacteria will multiply. When the fetus swallows or breathes, these bacteria have a chance to enter the fetus and continue to breed.

2. Under the normal condition of omphalitis, the umbilical cord of newborn falls off within two weeks. The wound of umbilical fossa is not covered by skin, the blood vessels are not closed, sometimes there will be oozing blood, and the umbilical fossa is easy to accumulate water and not easy to dry. It is a good place for bacteria to breed, and it is easy to cause omphalitis. If bacteria enter the blood, septicemia can occur.

3. The newborn's skin is thin and tender, vulnerable to bacterial invasion. If stimulated by friction and other factors, pyocystis may appear. Pustules are higher than the surface of the skin and are reddish around. They often occur in the arms, lower limbs, diaper area and skin folds. The blister fluid was clear in the early stage and became yellow turbid fluid rapidly in the later stage. The pustule ruptured to expose a red, moist surface. In mild cases, the blisters were limited to a small area and no new ulcers occurred in succession, without systemic symptoms; Severe cases of new pustules continue to appear, can be complicated with sepsis.
