- Abstract:
- (Critical) This program, one in a newborn series, is an overview of bacterial sepsis. Pathogenesis, causation, indications, laboratory tests, therapy, complications, and statistics are covered. This presents accurate, standard information and displays good technical quality. Some material is specific to the area of production. The program is recommended for use. and A doctor discusses the possible causes for neonatal bacterial sepsis, potential signs for the disease, and methods of prevention. Certain perinatal events such as maternal fever, UTI, and prolonged labor may be causes for concern; the doctor should subsequently check for sepsis in the infant. It is also imperative that all medical staff wash their hands before attending to the infant to decrease the chances of developing sepsis. Not much is said about viral sepsis because most research institutes do not have the facilities to culture that specific virus.
