Can childhood sepsis be cured? How to treat childhood sepsis?

Generally speaking, sepsis in children is quite serious, and many parents will be very worried about whether their children will have any problems, especially whether they can be cured. Next, let's take a look at whether sepsis in children can be cured? How is sepsis in children treated?

If children with sepsis are older and have good nutritional status, they can be cured if they are given appropriate treatment as soon as possible. Generally speaking, the younger the age and the worse the nutritional status, the worse the prognosis. The key to treating sepsis is to completely eliminate the primary lesions and migratory lesions to eliminate the source of pathogenic bacteria, use effective antibiotics reasonably, eliminate all bacteria in the blood as soon as possible, detect new migratory lesions early, and completely eliminate them at any time, improve the body's resistance, and strengthen supportive therapy.

Sepsis mainly refers to a systemic disease caused by bacteria invading the blood and multiplying in the blood to produce toxins. Antibiotics are mainly used for treatment. Before the pathogen is identified, ampicillin plus penicillin are used first, and blood is drawn for testing and blood culture. After the results of the pathogen test come out, sensitive drugs are selected. The general course of treatment is about 10 to 14 days, and the patient is completely cured only after two negative blood cultures. At the same time, nutrition must be strengthened, and attention must be paid to diet. When necessary, ice globulin or immunoglobulin or drugs that increase immunity should be used for symptomatic treatment.

1. Blood test. Generally, after this test, it can be found that the total white blood cell count will be significantly increased, and the percentage of neutrophils will also increase a lot. Even more than 80% of patients will have obvious nuclear left shift and intracellular toxic particles. There are also a small number of patients whose immune function is reduced, resulting in a normal or slightly low total white blood cell count.

2. Neutrophil tetrazolium blue test. This test is positive only when there is a bacterial infection, and more than 20% of patients will have this symptom. The results of this test can help distinguish viral infections from non-infectious diseases and bacterial infections.

3. Blood bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test. This test is also a common test item. For sepsis, the results obtained after the test can play an important role in diagnosing the disease.

Sepsis and leukemia are two different types of diseases and should not be confused. Sepsis is a disease that is mainly seen in departments such as infectious diseases, hematology, and critical care medicine. It is a systemic infectious disease caused by conditional pathogens that circulate in the blood; while leukemia is a disease caused by abnormal clonal proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells, and patients may have a large number of leukemia cells. Leukemia is a blood tumor that may be related to factors such as genetics and gene mutations.
