What bacteria cause blood infection in newborns?

In the hospital, you always see a family carrying their sick children, rushing to the hospital in a panic. Most of them will wonder, how could a healthy baby get a blood infection? Did it come into contact with some bacteria? If it is really infected, what bacteria are responsible? Next, I will introduce to you what bacteria cause neonatal blood infection. I hope this can help everyone.

1. If bacteria are found in the blood, it is probably a manifestation of sepsis, which is related to the child's umbilical cord infection or infection in other parts of the body. It is dangerous, so you need to be hospitalized as soon as possible and take anti-inflammatory drugs to eliminate inflammation. Only in this way can you cure the disease as soon as possible.

2. Current antibiotic research is relatively fast, and common bacterial infections can be quickly controlled. The baby should be able to be cured quickly. If long-term use of a certain antibiotic is not effective, the child's secretions or blood can be cultured, followed by a drug sensitivity test, and the most sensitive antibiotic can be used for treatment based on the test results.

3. The presence of bacteria in the blood is probably bacteremia. It is recommended to be hospitalized for treatment, use a large amount of sensitive antibiotics intravenously to kill bacteria, and keep the body temperature below 38 degrees. Human immunoglobulin injection can be used to increase the child's disease resistance. Bacterial infection only requires symptomatic antibacterial treatment for 10-14 days to recover. During this period, pay attention to recheck blood routine and observe body temperature.

4. The baby should have an upper respiratory tract infection. Judging from the symptoms, bacterial infection is more likely. If the child has obvious inflammatory symptoms when coughing, such as fever, yellow and sticky sputum, and increased white blood cell count in the blood, it is recommended that the child drink more water and keep warm. In terms of medication, anti-inflammatory drugs such as cephalexin capsules combined with oral Ketaling tablets can be given.

5. If the baby's blood is infected with bacteria, you can check the blood culture to find out which type of bacteria it is. According to drug sensitivity tests, treatment with sensitive antibiotics is the most effective.

6. The presence of bacteria in the newborn's blood may indicate neonatal sepsis. At this time, we need to pay great attention and actively combine antibiotic treatment, otherwise further aggravation will be more dangerous.

The above is the content about neonatal blood infection. At this time, everyone should pay attention to giving their baby more warm water to prevent dehydration, and also pay attention to making sure the diet is light. Once a child's blood is infected with bacteria and needs hospitalization, there is no need to worry too much. With the development of technology today, I believe your child will recover soon.
