P80-P83: Conditions involving the integument and temperature regulation of fetus and newborn
The group of conditions ranging from P80 to P83 involve the skin (integument) and temperature regulation of a fetus or newborn baby. These conditions typically occur around the time of birth and can involve various issues such as skin disorders, difficulties in maintaining body temperature, and abnormalities in the color or texture of a baby's skin. Some conditions might arise due to premature birth or infections passed from the mother to the baby. Symptoms depend on the specific condition but can include visible skin abnormalities, fever, or a lower-than-normal body temperature (hypothermia). These conditions can progress and potentially disrupt the normal function and development of the baby if not addressed timely. It's important to note that these situations often require proper clinical investigation and medical attention for exact diagnosis and treatment.
