Neonatal subcutaneous gangrene

Neonatal subcutaneous gangrene is an acute cellulitis, often caused by Staphylococcus aureus. Occurs in the back or lumbosacral region of the newborn who is easily stressed, and occasionally the pillow, shoulders, legs and perineum. Frequent in winter. The newborn's skin is thin and tender, and local skin is susceptible to pressure and moisture in winter, and it is not easy to keep clean. Therefore, bacteria can easily invade from the damaged skin and cause infection. If not actively treated in time, sepsis, bronchitis, and lung abscess can be complicated, so the mortality rate is high.
