How Severe is Fungal Infection in Premature Babies?

Question

My niece is a 9-month-old premature baby, and she’s said to have a fungal infection. How severe is this condition?

Answer

In 9-month-old premature babies, fungal infections can cause a range of symptoms, including skin infections, respiratory infections, coughing, wheezing, difficulty breathing, and fever. The treatment and intervention measures depend on the site of infection, so regular follow-ups to adjust the treatment plan are very important. Early detection and treatment of the disease can help the child recover.
