Association between umbilical cord blood laboratory findings with early onset neonatal sepsis
Backgrounds: Finding an efficient biomarker or combination of them as predictors of early-onset neonatal sepsis is very important. On the other hand, the use of umbilical cord blood samples in laboratory tests, along with its simplicity and availability, reflects neonate metabolic status. Background and Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between umbilical cord bloo...
متن کاملEpidemiologic features of early onset sepsis in neonatal ward of Shabih Khani hospital in Kashan
Background and objective: Neonatal sepsis is defined as presence of clinical signs accompanied by positive blood culture in newborns less than one month of age. Sepsis is a common cause of hospital admission in neonates, and it is known as one of the main causes of mortality among them, not only in developed countries but in developing ones. Delay in diagnosis and appropriate antibiotic therapy...
متن کاملCord Blood Acute Phase Reactants Predict Early Onset Neonatal Sepsis in Preterm Infants
BACKGROUND Early onset sepsis (EOS) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in preterm infants, yet diagnosis remains inadequate resulting in missed cases or prolonged empiric antibiotics with adverse consequences. Evaluation of acute phase reactant (APR) biomarkers in umbilical cord blood at birth may improve EOS detection in preterm infants with intrauterine infection. METHODS In this n...
متن کاملDiagnostic Role of Serum Haptoglobin level in Early Onset Neonatal Sepsis
Background: Introduction: Searching for an ideal marker for diagnosing neonatal infection is still an important concern in every country. There are many biomarkers reported for neonatal sepsis. Haptoglobin is an acute phase reactants which rise in response to infection and injuries. In this report we discussed the efficacy of serum haptoglobin level in different cut off levels in early onset ne...
متن کاملEarly-onset neonatal sepsis: cord blood cytokine levels at diagnosis and during treatment.
OBJECTIVE To assess clinical and laboratory parameters and serum cytokine levels in 55 neonates who developed early-onset sepsis. METHODS Clinical parameters associated with early-onset neonatal sepsis were assessed. White blood cell differential and serum C-reactive protein and glucose levels were measured upon diagnosis of sepsis and 48 hours later. IL-beta, IL-10, IL-6, and TNF-α levels we...
