Neonatal skin infection - what does this mean
Neonatal skin infection is caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi that enter the skin through cracks, cuts, or other breaks in the skin. it is most commonly seen in newborns due to their immature immune systems and their exposure to bacteria in the birth canal. it can also be caused by contact with contaminated surfaces and objects, such as bedding, clothing, toys, and diapers.
What happens during the disease - neonatal skin infection
Neonatal skin infections are caused by a variety of bacterial, viral, and fungal pathogens. bacterial infections are most common, and are often caused by staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus pyogenes, or escherichia coli. viral infections are typically caused by herpes simplex viruses, and fungal infections are usually caused by candida species. these pathogens can enter the skin through small breaks or abrasions, and can also be acquired through contact with infected individuals or contaminated surfaces. in neonates, the immature skin barrier and the lack of a mature immune system make them particularly susceptible to infection.
