Please help! what are the leading causes of morbidity for infants?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sepsis: Babies can get mild viral colds of course, which are a nuisance, not serious. Serious bacterial infections can occur most likely in the first 30 days of life. With early detection and treatment we are able to handle these in the hospital with IV antibiotics.
