Dr Pinaki Panigrahi, a US-based doctor has discovered an inexpensive prevention technique against sepsis. He along with members of his team has found that feeding babies with probiotic bacteria dramatically reduces the risk of sepsis in newborns.
This is a breakthrough study and going to be an inexpensive treatment that could possibly save hundreds of thousands of newborns from a top killer- Sepsis.
Sepsis is a life-threatening illness caused by your body’s response to an infection. In early infancy it results in one million annual deaths worldwide, most of them in developing countries. No efficient means of prevention is currently available.
All the sudden the baby stops being active. It stops crying and breastfeeding, says Dr. Panigrahi, a pediatrician at the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Public Health.
Sepsis is primarily caused by bacterial infections. While other infections can trigger sepsis further, it is mainly caused by infections like pneumonia, kidney infection blood infection and abdominal infection. Sepsis infections are more common in elderly people and those with a weak immune system.
