Severe bacterial infection remains one of the major causes of newborn deaths in low-income countries. A key challenge for reducing this burden is making definitive treatment more easily available. Active case detection through early postnatal home visits can work under trial conditions but is difficult to implement at scale under routine conditions. In many settings, making treatment available at peripheral-level primary health care facilities may be more feasible.
严重细菌感染仍然是低收入国家新生儿死亡的主要原因之一。减轻这一负担的一个关键挑战是更方便地提供明确的治疗。通过早期产后家访进行主动病例发现，在试验条件下是可行的，但在常规条件下很难大规模实施。在许多情况下，在基层初级卫生保健设施提供治疗可能更为可行。
