Infectious Diseases in Pediatrics and Neonates
Pneumonia, sepsis, and meningitis are examples of neonatal and pediatric infections that are primarily caused by bacteria. Every year, more than 550 000 newborns die from infections. The majority of these deaths can be avoided through preventative measures, early diagnosis, prompt care-seeking, antibiotic treatment, and follow-up. Early recognition of clinical signs, symptoms, and syndromes is necessary for early diagnosis. In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), the most significant clinical syndrome is a possible serious bacterial infection (PSBI). In LMICs, an estimated 6.9 million PSBI episodes occur annually in young infants between the ages of 0 and 59 days.
