First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

This study is observing 300 breastfeeding women to better understand mastitis, a painful breast inflammation. Researchers want to tell the difference between infections that need antibiotics and inflammation that does not. By analyzing milk and skin samples, they hope to create clearer guidelines for treatment.
