Sensitivity And Specificity Of Procalcitonin In Diagnosis Of Neonatal Sepsis
Background and Objective: According to the fact that neonatal infection is a challenging diagnosis field, several studies have tried to test sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic tests. This study was conducted to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of procalcitonin (PCT) as a single early marker of neonatal sepsis.

There is an urgent need to know whether the baby has sepsis to institute treatment as quickly as possible. Confirmation of the diagnosis may take time, and diagnostic tests are used to obtain a rapid indication of the infection status. These tests are not perfect. Some r...
متن کاملProcalcitonin: A Reliable Marker for the Diagnosis of Neonatal Sepsis
Objective(s) In the last few years, serum procalcitonin has been proposed as an early marker of infections in neonates, with varying results. In this study, we aimed to investigate the value of procalcitonin, and C- reactive protein in establishing the diagnosis of neonatal sepsis. Materials and Methods Blood samples were collected at admission from 69 neonates with suspected infection (admi...
متن کاملPetechial Hemorrhage: A clinical diagnosis of neonatal Thrombocytopenia and sepsis
A preterm female baby with birth weight of 1.5kg was referred to our hospital on day 6 for difficulty in breathing. Baby was admitted at birth for respiratory distress and feed intolerance to other hospital and in view of clinical deterioration baby was referred. Baby had thrombocytopenia with platelets counts of 11000/ mm3 and high CRP titer. Baby had petechial haemorrhagic spots all over the ...
متن کاملRole of Procalcitonin in the Early Diagnosis of Neonatal Sepsis
Objectives: To evaluate the specificity of Procalcitonin (ProCT) as marker of neonatal infection. Materials and Methods: The study includes 131 newborns admitted to the NICU. ProCT was determined in 5 groups of newborn with Sepsis, Asphyxia, Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS), Localized Infection and in uninfected patients. Results: Serum ProCT values were significatively high in sepsis group ...
