We all know that it is already not easy for babies to come into this world. Babies are easily infected with various bacteria in their mother's body until birth. Our parents are very worried about this because babies are the hearts of both mothers and fathers, and they all want their children to be healthy. However, children often contract bacteria such as GBS during this period. Can newborn infections with GBS be cured? Let's take a look.
Can neonatal GBS infection be cured
At present, antibiotic research is still relatively fast, and general bacterial infections can be quickly controlled. Babies should be cured quickly. If the long-term use of a certain antibiotic treatment is not satisfactory, the child can undergo secretion or blood culture, and then undergo drug sensitivity testing. Based on the test results, the most sensitive antibiotic can be selected for treatment.
The impact of GBS on newborns
According to the different occurrence times, it can be divided into early-onset infection and late-onset infection. Early onset infections occur from birth to 6 days postpartum, mostly within 24 hours postpartum. They are mainly vertically transmitted and account for about 80% of neonatal infections. The main manifestations are sepsis and pneumonia. If left untreated, they can cause long-term sequelae such as delayed intellectual development and loss of vision and hearing.
Late onset infections occur within 7 to 89 days postpartum and are mainly horizontally transmitted. They often present as insidious onset and are characterized by meningitis, bacteremia, and local infections. Survivors of meningitis are prone to neurological sequelae. Both early-onset and late-onset infections have varying rates of infection mortality.
Can neonatal GBS infection be cured? Based on the above content, we can know that it can be cured. As long as the child's physical condition is monitored at all times and medication is used, the child's condition will improve significantly. However, during this period, it is important to pay attention to the child's health. If any abnormalities are found, please seek medical attention immediately with the child. Finally, I wish all the children health and happiness.
