Question
What is the situation of newborn blood infection with Staphylococcus aureus?
Answer
Staphylococcus aureus infection may cause jaundice symptoms in newborns, usually occurring during severe infections. This is due to the destruction of red blood cells, leading to the release of hemoglobin, which ultimately forms jaundice. Treatment mainly involves antibiotics such as Meropenem and Cefotaxime. The effectiveness of treatment depends on the results of blood culture.
