What Causes Neonatal Gastroenteritis?

Neonatal gastroenteritis is caused by the underdeveloped immune system of newborns, as well as environmental factors, which make them susceptible to infections. The pathogens usually include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, mainly transmitted through the birth canal of the mother, contaminated milk products, water, pacifiers, utensils, and carriers among adults. Symptoms typically include diarrhea, vomiting, fever, and sometimes even bloody stools. If children exhibit similar symptoms, they should be taken to the hospital for immediate medical examination and treatment to avoid delaying the condition.
