Question
The pediatrician diagnosed the newborn with amniotic fluid trichosis infection, and the parents inquired about the treatment approach.
Answer
The primary concern is pulmonary infection, which can have a significant impact on the newborn and may lead to cardiorespiratory failure. It is recommended to delay discharge until the pulmonary infection has healed to avoid any residual complications. Amniotic fluid trichosis infection may cause aspiration pneumonia and respiratory distress. Immediate active treatment of the pulmonary infection is necessary after birth, along with attention to cardiorespiratory function.
