In infants with specific neonatal disorders, the presence of shivering might indicate a more severe disruption in their thermoregulatory control. For instance, in babies with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), the central nervous system's ability to regulate temperature can be impaired, leading to abnormal shivering. Similarly, neonates with severe infections, such as neonatal sepsis, might exhibit shivering due to systemic inflammatory responses.
