1338 HYPERACTIVE PMN CHEMOTAXIS (CX) AND RANDOM MIGRATION (RM) IN STRESSED NEONATES WITH SEPSIS

Lumbar Puncture in Neonates with Sepsis

Introduction: Infections are one of the main causes of death during childhood. Epidemiologic studies in Iran showed that the incidence of neonatal sepsis was 1.8% in 1995. Moreover, the incidence of neonatal meningitis is 0.2 to 0.4 in per 1,000 live births. The aim of this study was to determine the necessity of lumbar puncture (LP) in early neonatal sepsis. Methods: In a retrospective study, ...

Lumbar Puncture in Neonates with Sepsis

Introduction:Infections are one of the main causes of death during childhood. According to epidemiological studies in Iran, the incidence of neonatal sepsis was 1.8% in year 1995. Moreover, the incidence of neonatal meningitis was 0.2 to 0.4 in 1000 live births. The aim of this study was to determine the necessity of lumbar puncture (LP) for early neonatal sepsis.           Methods:In a retros...

Comparison Of Biochemical And Pathological Markers In Neonates With Sepsis And Neonates Without Sepsis

Glomerular Filtration Rate Changes in Neonates with Sepsis Treated with Amikacin and Cefotaxime

 Background and purpose: Aminoglycosides (AG) such as Amikacin that are widely used to prevent and treat infections in neonates have nephrotoxic effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of urinary index to Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in diagnosis of tubular renal injury following administration of Amikacin in neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Materia...

The Evaluation of Mean Platelet Volume in Neonates with Intraventricular Hemorrhage and Sepsis

Background: Neonatal sepsis is a generalized bacterial infection which occurs in the first month of life. Intraventricular hemorrhage is the most common intracerebral disorder which occurs in premature neonates. Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) is considered as a marker of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in some studies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of MPV on IVH and sepsis in n...
