Question
What are the possible causes of liver and spleen enlargement in newborns?
Answer
The causes of liver and spleen enlargement in newborns are diverse. The most common cause is infection during labor in the mother, which can lead to neonatal blood poisoning and subsequently cause liver and spleen enlargement. However, since each newborn has different clinical manifestations, symptoms such as fever or hypothermia, refusal to eat, or no weight gain may occur. Therefore, a detailed examination is necessary to confirm the cause based on the specific condition of the newborn.
