Babies are especially susceptible to oral overhydration during the first month of life, when the kidneys' filtering mechanism is too immature to excrete fluid as rapidly as older infants do.
Why are infants susceptible to significant losses in total body water ?
Although premature infants are more susceptible to GBS, 75% of infected infants are full-term.

bacitracin is limited to the treatment of infants with pneumonia and empyema caused by staphylococci shown to be susceptible to the drug
Overhydration occurs when the body takes in more water than it excretes and its normal sodium level is diluted.
dehydration is where you have too much to drink overhydration is where you have too much to drink. I hope this helped :)
Infants and elderly individuals have compromised thermoregulation mechanisms, making them more susceptible to temperature changes. Infants have higher body surface area to body weight ratio, leading to faster heat loss. Elderly individuals might have decreased ability to regulate body temperature due to age-related physiological changes and chronic health conditions.
a vaccine that protects against pneumonia & meningitis. it is typically given to infants and the elderly, both of which are very susceptible to these illnesses.
People with heart, kidney, or liver disease are more likely to develop overhydration because their kidneys are unable to excrete water normally.
Patients with compromised immune systems, such as those with HIV/AIDS, cancer, or undergoing chemotherapy, are most susceptible to Staphylococcal Scalded Skin Syndrome (SSSS) due to their weakened ability to fight off infections. Additionally, newborns and young children are also at higher risk of developing SSSS.
Both newborn infants and aged individuals have very little subcutaneous tissue How does this affect their sensitivity to cold environmental temperatures?
Overhydration is characterized by excess water both within and around the body's cells, while excess blood volume occurs when the body has too much sodium and can not move water to reservoirs within the cells.
