Septic risk factors for each condition are listed in order of the postpartum day (PPD) on which the condition generally occurs.
In the treatment of umbilical granulomas, silver nitrate is applied to the umbilical site to burn off the excess tissue. [18] The absence of nerve endings within the granuloma make this a painless treatment for the newborn. [19] While painless, contact of silver nitrate to the adjacent, healthy, normal tissue may result in burns. [19]
Clinically, neonates with omphalitis present within the first two weeks of life with signs and symptoms of a skin infection around the umbilical stump (redness, warmth, swelling, pain), pus from the umbilical stump, fever, fast heart rate (tachycardia), low blood pressure (hypotension), somnolence, poor feeding, and yellow skin ().
Specimens obtained from wounds and subcutaneous tissue infections and abscesses in the rectal area (perirectal abscess, decubitus ulcer) or that are of gut flora origin(i.e. diabetic foot infection) often to yield colonic flora organisms. [40] These are generally B. fragilis group, Clostridium spp., Enterobacteriaceae and Enterococcus spp. On ...
An abscess is a localized collection of pus (purulent inflammatory tissue) caused by suppuration buried in a tissue, an organ, or a confined space, lined by the pyogenic membrane. [26] Ultrasound imaging can help in a diagnosis. [27]

Other causes should also be ruled out when considering treatment. Initial treatment is typically conservative, and may include changes to diet and emotional support.
