Q » What are neonatal infections?
06 Dec, 2025
A » Neonatal infections are infections that occur in newborns, typically within the first 28 days of life. These infections can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi, and may be acquired in utero, during delivery, or postnatally. Common neonatal infections include sepsis, pneumonia, and meningitis. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial to avoid severe complications, as newborns have underdeveloped immune systems, making them particularly vulnerable.
