The early manifestations of neonatal sepsis are vague and il...
متن کاملPrognostic value of initial antithrombin levels in neonatal sepsis.
OBJECTIVES We determined whether initial antithrombin (AT) levels help in diagnosis and prognosis of neonatal sepsis. METHODS Sepsis was diagnosed according to clinical and laboratory findings and positive culture results in 34 of the 54 newborns who presented to the hospital with suspected sepsis. Between AT levels and hematological parameters (fibrinogen levels, prothrombin time (PT), activ...
متن کاملMedication Therapy for Early-Onset Neonatal Sepsis.
S sepsis is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in neonates. In a population-based surveillance study1 from 2005 to 2008, researchers estimated that 3300 cases of early-onset sepsis (EOS) occur in the United States each year, with 390 of these cases resulting in death.

متن کاملUse of Serial C-reactive Protein Measure-ments for Determination of the Length of Empiric Antibiotic Therapy in Suspected Neonatal Sepsis
Background: The management of neonatal sepsis especially in developing countries is problematic. There is no single reliable marker of infection available at the present. C-reactive protein (CRP) has long been used as a marker of infection. Serial measurements of CRP are recommended as a guide for duration of antibiotic therapy. Objective: To evaluate the serial CRP measurement as a guideline...
