The symptoms in neonatal disorders are complex for several reasons:
1. Immature Organ Systems: Newborns, especially preterm infants, have underdeveloped organ systems. This immaturity can lead to a variety of symptoms that may overlap with one another, making diagnosis challenging. 2. Non-specific Symptoms: Many neonatal disorders present with non-specific symptoms such as poor feeding, lethargy, and respiratory distress. These symptoms can be indicative of a wide range of conditions, from [infections] to metabolic disorders. 3. Rapid Changes: The health status of a neonate can change rapidly. A baby can appear healthy one moment and become critically ill the next, necessitating continuous monitoring and swift medical intervention.
