Predictors of Time to Recovery in Infants with Probable Serious Bacterial Infection
INTRODUCTION Serious bacterial infections continue to be an important cause of death and illness among infants in developing countries. Time to recovery could be considered a surrogate marker of severity of the infection. We therefore aimed to identify clinical and laboratory predictors of time to recovery in infants with probable serious bacterial infection (PSBI). METHODS We used the datase...
متن کاملPredictors of serious bacterial infection in infants up to 8 weeks of age.
During a period of 2 years we prospectively studied 116 infants up to 8 weeks of age with suspected sepsis. Each infant was assessed clinically before laboratory evaluation for sepsis. Depending upon impression of sepsis, temperature abnormality, micro ESR (mESR), WBC counts and toxic granulations infants were assigned to either high (n = 74) or low (n = 31) risk group for serious bacterial inf...

متن کاملUse of Procalcitonin Assays to Predict Serious Bacterial Infection in Young Febrile Infants.
IMPORTANCE The procalcitonin (PCT) assay is an accurate screening test for identifying invasive bacterial infection (IBI); however, data on the PCT assay in very young infants are insufficient. OBJECTIVE To assess the diagnostic characteristics of the PCT assay for detecting serious bacterial infection (SBI) and IBI in febrile infants aged 7 to 91 days. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A p...
متن کاملdiagnostic value of il-6, crp, wbc, and absolute neutrophil count to predict serious bacterial infection in febrile infants
since clinical manifestations of most febrile infants younger than three months old are nonspecific, differentiation of serious bacterial infection (sbi) from self-limiting viral illness is a significant challenge for pediatricians. this study was performed to assess the diagnostic value of white blood cell count (wbc), absolute neutrophil count (anc), interleukin -6 (il-6) and c-re...
