Inflammation of the umbilical stump, marked by redness, swelling, and purulent exudates in severe cases is known as Omphalitis.

Omphalitis is an infection of the umbilicus and/or surrounding tissues that occur primarily during the neonatal period. This is a true medical emergency that can lead to systemic infection and death, with an estimated mortality rate of 7-15%. It is commonly caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, Clostridium difficile, Klebsiella, and Pseudomonas.

Omphalitis in the adult population has been described in only a few cases reports in the literature. It may result from an infectious process of a foreign body in the navel such as a remnant of the allantoic tube, the vitelline tube, or a navel piercing.
