Question
The infant’s test results indicate that they have capillary vasculitis. What is this condition, and how should it be treated and prevented?
Answer
Capillary vasculitis is typically caused by viral infections. In the early stages of the disease, antibiotics are usually not required, but they can be used if secondary bacterial infections are suspected. It is recommended to use medications such as vitamin B12, B6, and vitamin C under a doctor’s guidance to enhance vascular health. The infant should be taken to the hospital promptly after diagnosis, and symptomatic treatment should be the main approach. Good care is very important, especially ensuring the infant’s quiet rest and avoiding excessive disturbance.
