What is sepsis?

Sepsis is a general condition of the body when the protective functions of the immune system are reduced and infectious diseases begin to develop faster and with more complications. Moreover, sepsis can lead to serious consequences if not treated promptly. How to identify and diagnose sepsis in children

Children often suffer from sepsis due to bacterial infections, which most often begin in the lungs or genitourinary system. Signs of sepsis include:

- General malaise and weakness - Painful urination - High fever for two days - Pale or bluish skin - Shortness of breath - Reduced appetite and weight

As mentioned above, in order to properly treat sepsis, it is necessary to establish its exact cause. To do this, a set of studies and tests is carried out, including: - Urinalysis - General and biochemical blood tests - Chest X-ray

In addition, it is necessary to conduct a general assessment of the patient's condition and determine which treatments may help improve his well-being. The doctor may prescribe antibiotics, blood thinners, or other medications depending on the type of infection.
