Dysbacteriosis in newborns

In this regard, it is important to, that at the time of birth of a baby surrounded him as much as possible a large number of beneficial bacteria. If this does not happen, there is a disturbance of the balance of quantity and quality of flora, which is called dysbiosis in newborns.

The lack of a complete absence of one of the species of bacteria entail a bowel disorder (diarrhea, constipation), metabolic disorder, low immunity, as well as the development of food allergy.

Causes of dysbiosis in newborns

Often the malformation of the intestinal microflora in the newborn due to such factors:

1. Breastfeeding the baby was late. Mother's milk promotes normal development of intestinal flora. It contains all necessary bacteria, which are so necessary for immunity crumbs. Provided delay obtaining breast milk baby intestinal mucosa shatters bacterial strains, are not inherent in the human gut, and the development of the disease.
2. Treatment of lactating women or newborn baby antibiotics. Existing modern drugs, usually, They do not have strict selective effects, that can attack both pathogens and beneficial bacteria. This side effect is quite pronounced in relation lactobacilli. Wherein, however, by no drug was administered into the body does not matter. Also, breastfeeding mothers antimicrobial agents can cause the development of dysbiosis in the newly born baby.
3. Acute inflammation or chronic nature of. Any inflammation in the body due to the fact, in that it contains the locus opportunistic and pathogenic microorganisms. They are very rapidly developing in the body not strong crumbs. It is worth noting, that inflammatory processes in the gastrointestinal tract may be caused by even those factors, which at first glance is absolutely not connected with the development of bowel disease. We are talking about various stresses, long stay in a smoky place, as well as possible injuries at birth.
4. worms, a rare cause of illness in infants, however, their occurrence causes diarrhea, bloating, as well as other characteristics, typical of dysbiosis.

Dysbacteriosis newborn. The symptoms of its manifestations

Fecal neonatal goiter

Establish an accurate diagnosis is possible on the basis of a laboratory examination of a child. The doctor prescribes to pass feces for dysbacteriosis in newborns. Analysis represents bakteriologichesoke study faeces, wherein the presence of microorganisms is determined by the unusual intestine.

Often, for the diagnosis of becoming ill, used:

• coprogram - laboratory studies of stool, indicating the degree of the digestion of dietary components intestine, as well as the presence of (lack of) signs of inflammation;
• crop on conditionally pathogenic flora - gives an idea of ​​the level of "neutral" representatives of bacteria without regard to the normal flora;
• inoculation of bacteria overgrowth - Analysis, which provides information about the number of normal and conditionally pathogenic flora. Besides, it can be used to determine the sensitivity of an organism to drugs.

To carry out the analysis on a dysbacteriosis fence material is of particular importance. It must be freshly harvested and in the required amount. It is also necessary to abandon supplementation, aimed at the normalization of intestinal microflora.

2. If for any reason it is impossible to breastfeeds, it is necessary to select the maximum adapted formulas, enriched with all the necessary factors. Such mixtures are special dairy.
3. After consultation with the doctor let drugs, which inhibit the development of opportunistic bacteria. These include bacteriophages, that absorb and inside the cells is dissolved microbes. Besides, depending on the severity of the disease in neonates treatment of dysbacteriosis carried antiseptics or antibiotics. Dosage selects only doctor.
4. Settling intestinal flora of healthy newborn exclusively. Excellent assistants in the act of probiotics. The course of treatment with these agents determines the pediatrician.
