What is Neonatal Sepsis?
Neonatal sepsis is a serious infection in newborn babies caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi entering the bloodstream. It can affect multiple organs and requires immediate medical attention.
There are two types:
- Early-onset sepsis (within first 72 hours of birth)
- Late-onset sepsis (after 72 hours)
- Infection during pregnancy
- Prolonged labor or premature rupture of membranes
- Premature birth
- Low birth weight
- Poor hygiene or exposure to infection
- Hospital-acquired infections
