What happens during the disease - neonatal infective mastitis
Neonatal infective mastitis is an infection of the breast tissue in newborns caused by a variety of bacteria, including staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus agalactiae, and escherichia coli. it is believed that the bacteria is introduced during the birthing process, either through contact with the mother's skin or the baby's own skin, or through the baby's mouth. the bacteria then colonizes the breast tissue, causing inflammation, pain, and redness. in some cases, the infection can spread to the lymph nodes, leading to fever, chills, and systemic symptoms. treatment typically involves antibiotics and supportive care.
