Diagnostic Accuracy of C-Reactive Protein in Neonatal Sepsis
Sepsis is the most common cause of neonatal mortality and is responsible for 30-50% of total neonatal deaths each year in developing countries. The objective of the study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of Creactive protein (CRP) in neonatal sepsis. Fifty nine consecutive patients with risk factors and clinical features suggestive of CRP sepsis were selected as per operational definiti...

متن کاملProcalcitonin and C- Reactive Protein as Diagnostic Markers of Neonatal Sepsis
Neonatal sepsis is a serious problem associated with significant neonatal morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis of neonatal sepsis may be difficult because the clinical presentations are often non-specific, bacterial cultures are time-consuming and other laboratory tests lack sensitivity and specificity. This study aimed to evaluate procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) as diagnostic ma...
متن کاملPositive Maternal C-Reactive Protein Predicts Neonatal Sepsis
PURPOSE To evaluate the diagnostic performance of maternal inflammatory marker: C-reactive protein (CRP) in predicting early onset neonatal sepsis (that occurring within 72 hours after birth). MATERIALS AND METHODS 126 low birth weight newborns (gestation 32±3.2 wk, birth weight 1887±623 g) and their mothers were included. Neonates were divided into sepsis group (n=51) including both proven (...
متن کاملNeonatal Sepsis: An Update
Sepsis is the most common cause of neonatal mortality. As per National Neonatal-Perinatal Database (NNPD), 2002-2003, the incidence of neonatal sepsis in India was 30 per 1000 live births. Signs and symptoms of sepsis are nonspecific; therefore empirical antimicrobial therapy is promptly initiated after obtaining appropriate cultures. The early manifestations of neonatal sepsis are vague and il...
