Neonatal infections refer to infections that occur in newborn infants, typically within the first 28 days of life. These infections can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites and can range from mild to severe, with potentially life-threatening consequences. Neonatal infections can be acquired during childbirth, through contact with infected individuals, or from the environment. Risk factors for neonatal infections include premature birth, low birth weight, maternal infection, and prolonged hospitalization. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial in preventing complications and improving outcomes for newborns with infections.
