Early C-Reactive Protein (CRP) as Predictor of Neonatal Morbidity 1118

C-reactive protein (CRP) in early diagnosis of neonatal septicemia.

The usefulness of CRP in early detection of neonatal septicemia/meningitis and urinary tract infection was studied in a neonatal unit using a semiquantitative latex-agglutination as a rapid screening method, and electroimmuno assay as reference method for CRP determination. In 94% of non-infected infants CRP was less than or equal to 15 mg/l and 82% had CRP less than 10 mg/l up to 3 days of age...

Validity of C-reactive protein (CRP) for diagnosis of neonatal sepsis

OBJECTIVE To determine the validity of C-reactive protein levels for diagnosis of neonatal sepsis. METHODS A cross sectional (Validation) study was conducted at Neonatology unit in KRL general hospital (emergency/OPD) of 7 months duration from February 2012 to August 2012. By using purposive sampling technique, 147, sample size was calculated by using WHO sample size calculator taking sensiti...

Measurement of C- Reactive Protein (CRP ) Using Magnetic Nanobeads Add ELISA

Abstract Background and Objective: Magnetic nanobeads have a large surface- area-to-volume ratio, which is used for immobilized antibody. Using nanoparticles could increase the amount of antibodies in surface in comparison to ELISA. We investigated the ability of magnetic nanobeads to evaluate CRP by colorimetric method and compared the results with ELISA. Material and Methods: This stud...

The antimicrobial properties of C-reactive protein (CRP).

C-reactive protein, CRP, is a predominant pattern-recognition receptor (PRR) in the plasma of the horseshoe crab, which recognizes lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Native CRP2 has previously been shown to exhibit agglutination activity against the polysialic capsule of Escherichia coli K1 but its role in bacterial clearance is not well characterized. In this work, the antimicrobial activity of a recom...
