Use 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...

متن کاملDoes antibiotic selection impact patient outcome?
Inadequate antibiotic therapy, generally defined as microbiologically ineffective anti-infective therapy against the causative pathogen, can influence patient outcome. However, the detrimental effects of inadequate antibiotic therapy seem to become weaker in the most severely ill patients with short life expectancies. In addition to severity of illness, other methodological issues should be car...

متن کاملProcalcitonin kinetics within the first days of sepsis: relationship with the appropriateness of antibiotic therapy and the outcome
INTRODUCTION Management of the early stage of sepsis is a critical issue. As part of it, infection control including appropriate antibiotic therapy administration should be prompt. However, microbiological findings, if any, are generally obtained late during the course of the disease. The potential interest of procalcitonin (PCT) as a way to assess the clinical efficacy of the empirical antibio...
