Abstract

Neonatal sepsis is a severe and potentially life-threatening infection occurring in newborns, characterized by systemic inflammation due to bacterial pathogens. Early recognition and prompt treatment are crucial for improving outcomes. This article explores the etiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic approaches, and management strategies for neonatal sepsis. It also examines recent advances in understanding the pathophysiology and the impact of early intervention on long-term outcomes. By synthesizing current research and clinical practices, the article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of neonatal sepsis, emphasizing the importance of timely diagnosis and evidence-based treatment protocols.
