SERIOUS Infection Jumanah Alqurashi Objectives: 1. List the primary organisms associated with sepsis and meningitis during the neonatal and the post neonatal period. 2. Recognize the clinical presentation and management of sepsis and meningitis. 3. Recognize the signs and symptoms of other severe infections during childhood including Septic arthritis, ostomylitis, encephalitis, orbital cellulites and SJS. 4. Outline the proper management and prevention of these infections. Blue: Main Category Orange: Subcategory. Black: Original slides content. Red: Important information. Green: Doctor notes.
