An 11-day-old newborn exhibited symptoms of fever, difficulty in suckling, and an inability to open the mouth. Upon examination, a septic condition was observed in the umbilical area. Touching the infant resulted in the onset of convulsions as shown in an image. What is your diagnosis in this case?
