Sepsis of newborn due to escherichia coli - what does this mean
Sepsis of newborn due to escherichia coli is an infection that occurs when the bacteria from the mother's vagina is passed to the baby during delivery, leading to an overactive immune response and a systemic inflammatory response, resulting in organ failure, shock, and even death.
What happens during the disease - sepsis of newborn due to escherichia coli
Sepsis of newborn due to escherichia coli is caused by the bacteria entering the bloodstream of the newborn, either through the placenta during delivery or through contact with contaminated materials. the bacteria can then produce toxins that damage the baby's organs, leading to inflammation, tissue damage, and organ failure. this can cause a systemic inflammatory response syndrome, resulting in a high fever, low blood pressure, and decreased oxygen in the blood. if left untreated, sepsis can lead to death.
