Etiological characteristics of sepsis in children / 国际儿科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Sepsis is a common critical disease in children with a high morbidity and mortality,and is an important cause of death in children.Its pathogens include bacteria,viruses,fungi and parasites,among which bacterial infections account for the majority,so antimicrobial drugs have been the most powerful agents in the treatment of sepsis,and have played a great role in saving the lives of infected children.However,the use of antimicrobial agents is based on a certain etiological basis,and due to the timeliness of pathogen testing,early combination of the clinical characteristics of children,susceptible factors and local epidemiology to assess the possible infection is very important to choose antibiotic treatment scientifically and reasonably.This article reviews the literature on etiological analysis of paediatric sepsis in recent years and summarizes its etiological characteristics.
