What are the Diagnostic Methods for Mucosal Involvement?
Diagnosing mucosal involvement in neonates requires a combination of clinical examination and diagnostic tests:
- Physical Examination: A thorough examination of the mucous membranes for signs of erythema, swelling, or ulceration. - Microbiological Cultures: To identify infectious agents like bacteria, fungi, or viruses. - Endoscopy: In some cases, an endoscopic examination may be necessary to visualize the mucous membranes directly.
