Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
What is the main reason for sepsis to occur in a newborn? Will parents be the reason?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
1. Sepsis means systemic infection of body in babies.
2. There are many causes like meconium aspiration during delivery, infection from the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) where the baby is kept, infection from any person who handles the baby, etc.
