High Fever In A Neonate
A very early phone call woke me announcing the illness of a neonate with the voice on the other end quite worried. The worried mother hung-up and soon arrived the hospital within the hour. Neonatal Sepis. This was the diagnosis. Neonatal Sepsis is usually of bacterial origin and afflicts babies aged 2 months and under. The chilld had flu -like symptoms. Probably, an airway infection must have led up to Neonatal Sepsis in this case. With the child already vomitting breastfeeds, the mum was in near- panic . More later.
