COMPARISON BETWEEN PROCALCITONIN AND C-REACTIVE PROTEIN AS A SENSITIVE MARKER OF EARLY ONSET SEPSIS AMONG SAUDI NEONATES
نویسندگان
چکیده
Early diagnosis of neonatal sepsis (NS) is difficult because the variable and non-specific clinical presentation. Also, many laboratory tests are negative at early stage diseases, so study aimed to detect role procalcitonin (PCT) in detection NS versus C-reactive protein (CRP) other hematological parameters.

Immediate Diagnosis of Early Onset Sepsis in Premature Newborns by Measurement of Cord C-Reactive Protein and Interleukin-6
Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between early onset sepsis and increased levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in cord plasma. Methods: A prospective study was conducted in 141 premature infants delivered with gestational ages of 26-35 weeks. IL-6 and CPR were measured by enzyme-linked immunoassay in the cord plasma of the neonates. ...
متن کاملProcalcitonin as a Marker for Early Diagnosis of Sepsis
Sepsis is a critical condition often caused by bacterial infection and associated with death and mortality. The prognosis of this disease depends on early diagnosis and proper treatment. Definite diagnosis of sepsis is positive blood culture and this test needs a long time to perform, so other biochemical parameters such as procalcitonin serum level has been introduced. To determine sensitivity...

Bacteremia and sepsis, along with other serious bacterial infections (SBIs), are still significant causes of morbidity and mortality among children worldwide despite the use of modern antibiotics and evidence-based resuscitation guidelines and treatments.1 Sepsis in neonates is a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality. Based on the onset, neonatal sepsis is classified into two major...
متن کاملProcalcitonin: A Reliable Marker for the Diagnosis of Neonatal Sepsis
Objective(s) In the last few years, serum procalcitonin has been proposed as an early marker of infections in neonates, with varying results. In this study, we aimed to investigate the value of procalcitonin, and C- reactive protein in establishing the diagnosis of neonatal sepsis. Materials and Methods Blood samples were collected at admission from 69 neonates with suspected infection (admi...

INTRODUCTION Neutrophil CD64 has been proposed as an early marker of sepsis. This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic utility of neutrophil CD64 for identification of early-onset sepsis in preterm neonates. METHODS The prospective study was conducted in a neonatal intensive care unit between November 2010 and June 2011. Preterm neonates in whom infection was suspected when they were <12 hou...
