What are the symptoms of neonatal pneumonia?

The onset of pneumonia caused by prenatal infection is mostly within 3~7 days after birth. Symptoms are often atypical, the younger the gestational age, the more atypical the symptoms, more than half of the patients with normal body temperature are about half, and the rest are unstable body temperature, severe illness or prematureThe body temperature often does not rise. Symptoms are mostly non-characteristic manifestations such as refusal to eat, lethargy or irritability, poor complexion, no weight gain, and most of them have no cough, and soon on, shortness of breath, nasal flaring, moaning, soft tissue depression during inhalation, and increased heart rate.prematureApnea is predisposed to, and pulmonary signs are increased or decreased breath sounds with dry or wet rales, but may be completely negative.

Some children have chlamydial ocular conjunctivitis (see ocular conjunctivitis) 5~14 days after birth, and the pathogen can gradually spread downward from the nasolacrimal duct, but some children do not have ocular conjunctivitis, but pneumonia can also occur. Chlamydialpneumonia has a slow onset of nasal congestion and cough, gradually increasing breathing, usually no fever, crackles in the lungs, and stridor if the lesion invades the bronchioles, and the full course of the disease can last for several weeks. Blood count, leukocyte count, sometimes eosinophilia.

The onset of various pneumonias that occur after birth is relatively late, and the symptoms are typical, including nasal congestion, cough, shortness of breath, and fever in full-term infants, but normal body temperature can also occur.prematureThe temperature may not rise.Crackles of varying thicknesses may be heard in the lungs.
