Question
The 3-month-old baby has a fever of 38 degrees, elevated blood routine white blood cells, and a blood count of 26,000. The parents want to go to the hospital for a sepsis test and chest X-ray. Can the baby’s sepsis be detected through a blood test?
Answer
Sepsis in infants can be detected through a blood test. Sepsis is a relatively dangerous disease that often presents with a history of infection and high fever. A blood routine test can determine the presence of sepsis. For infants, neonatal sepsis is a very harmful disease. If parents suspect their child has sepsis, they should take treatment measures early on and choose a regular hospital for medical consultation.
