Congenital pneumonia due to escherichia coli - what does this mean
Congenital pneumonia due to escherichia coli is an infection that is present at birth and caused by the bacteria escherichia coli. it is usually acquired through the mother's birth canal and can cause severe respiratory distress in newborns. the infection can be treated with antibiotics, but can lead to long-term complications if not treated promptly.
What happens during the disease - congenital pneumonia due to escherichia coli
Congenital pneumonia due to escherichia coli is an infection of the lungs caused by the bacteria escherichia coli. this infection is acquired prenatally due to ascending infection of the amniotic fluid and fetal membranes, or during delivery due to exposure to infected maternal secretions. the bacteria can then colonize in the lungs, leading to inflammation and tissue damage, resulting in the development of pneumonia.

- Order a sputum culture to detect the presence of E. coli.
- Order a bronchoalveolar lavage to detect the presence of E. coli.
- Order a liver function test to assess for any signs of liver damage.
- Order a lumbar puncture to detect the presence of E. coli in the cerebrospinal fluid.
