Neonatal Sepsis and Inflammatory Mediators
Neonatal sepsis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality and its signs and symptoms are nonspecific, which makes the diagnosis difficult. The routinely used laboratory tests are not effective methods of analysis, as they are extremely nonspecific and often cause inappropriate use of antibiotics. Sepsis is the result of an infection associated with a systemic inflammatory response with produc...
متن کاملImmunophenotyping of Lymphocyte Subpopulations and pre-inflammatory mediators in neonatal sepsis
Objective: Sepsis is one of the major causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality. The present study was designed to elucidate the changes in the lymphocyte subsets and in the pre-inflammatory mediators; IL-6 and IL-1b in full-term neonates with sepsis Patients and methods: A prospective study was carried out at the neonatology intensive care unit of Cairo University in the period from June 2007...
متن کاملInterleukin-8 in sepsis: relation to shock and inflammatory mediators.
Because of its neutrophil-activating properties, interleukin-8 (IL-8) may play an important role in the pathophysiology of sepsis. We measured circulating IL-8 levels in 47 patients with clinical sepsis. Levels on admission were elevated in 42 of the 47 patients (89%) and were comparable in patients with gram-positive or gram-negative infections. Patients with shock had significantly higher IL-...
متن کاملBiliverdin protects against polymicrobial sepsis by modulating inflammatory mediators.
Highly inducible heme oxygenase (HO)-1 is protective against acute and chronic inflammation. HO-1 generates carbon monoxide (CO), ferrous iron, and biliverdin. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effects of biliverdin against sepsis-induced inflammation and intestinal dysmotility. Cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) was performed on Sprague-Dawley rats under isoflurane anesthe...
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...
