A newborn experienced hypoglycemia and sepsis due to Salmonella Paratyphi A infection, likely from contaminated milk. This highlights the importance of vigilance for infections in neonates, even with seemingly healthy mothers.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • A large-for-gestational-age male infant was born full-term via caesarean delivery.
  • The mother was healthy and on L-thyroxine treatment during pregnancy.

Observation:

  • The neonate presented with hypoglycemia in the first four postnatal days, managed with intravenous glucose.
  • On day 5, the infant became unwell with a positive sepsis screen.

Findings:

  • Blood culture identified a multidrug-susceptible strain of Salmonella Paratyphi A.
  • The probable source of infection was contaminated expressed breast milk or formula feed, acquired on day 1 or 2.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the risk of neonatal sepsis from contaminated feeding sources.
