Recently, Baoying , who had just been born for 5 days, suddenly suffered a high fever, and his body temperature suddenly rose to 39℃, accompanied by symptoms such as milk refusal, vomiting, and mental depression. The local hospital urgently contacted the Newborn Emergency Transport Center of Yangzhou Maternal and Child Health Hospital for treatment.

Soon, the results of the sample sent for testing came out. The child's blood infection index was severely increased, and the urine test was obviously abnormal. It turns out that the causes of Lelego fever are not simply colds, flu, , pneumonia, etc., but urinary tract infections in newborns that are easily overlooked.

Lele repeated high fever, and the infection indicators seriously exceeded the standard. Clinically, Lele urinary tract pathogens have invaded the blood and caused sepsis. Considering that the probability of neonatal sepsis of about 25% will cause neonatal suppurative meningitis , the doctor conducted a lumbar puncture examination for Lele after obtaining the consent of the parents, and the results confirmed that Lele really had suppurative meningitis .

The cause of the disease was found, and the treatment was very smooth. Two days later, Lele's body temperature dropped to normal range. After 3 weeks of standardized treatment, Lele was finally discharged from the hospital successfully. The discharge was assessed that the development of nervous system was not affected. In the later stage, it only takes a regular physical examination and re-examination.

Neonatal urinary tract infection refers to infectious diseases of the urinary tract that occur in the neonatal period, including urethritis , cystitis and pyelonephritis . Because the urinary tract of the newborn is short and the infection is difficult to be limited to a fixed part of the urinary tract, it is collectively called neonatal urinary tract infection.

Neonatal urinary tract infection does not have the typical symptoms of frequent urination, urgency, and pain in adults, but non-specific symptoms, such as: fever, refusal to breastfeed, vomiting, crying, jaundice, worsening of jaundice, non-weight gain, mental depression, diarrhea, etc.

So, how should parents prevent it? First, we must strengthen the cleaning, care and hygiene of the perineum of the newborn. If there are infection lesions in other parts, we must treat it in a timely and thorough manner to prevent blood infection. Secondly, we must treat it in a timely and effective manner for those with surgical urinary tract deformities. We recommend breastfeeding to enhance the resistance of newborns.
