چکیده
Article history: Received 21 June 2016 Accepted 21 June 2016 Available online 23 June 2016 (Akira et al., 2006). Innate immunity relies on the binding of PAMPs to receptors on immune cells and to serum proteins, such as mannosebinding lectin (Akira et al., 2006; Ip et al., 2009). Cartwright et al. developed an ELISA using an engineered immunoglobulin domain fused to domains of mannose-binding lectin. This protein binds carbohydrate

Evaluation of CD64 Expression on Peripheral Blood Neutrophils for Early Detection of Neonatal Sepsis
Background: Neonatal sepsis is a life-threatening disease with an incidence of 1 to 10 per 1000 live births and a mortality rate of 15% to 50%. The clinical signs are non-specific and indistinguishable from those caused by a variety of neonatal noninfectious disorders. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the importance of CD64 expression (FcgRI), a neutrophil surface marker, in ea...
متن کاملSignificance of Serum Procalcitonin Level in the Early Diagnosis of Neonatal Sepsis
Background: Sepsis in neonates presents itself with non-specific clinical features which makes early diagnosis difficult. However, procalcitonin (PCT) and other inflammatory markers have recently been considered as sensitive markers for the early detection of neonatal sepsis. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the diagnostic value of PCT in the early detection of neonatal sepsis an...
متن کاملDiagnosis of Sepsis in Children Using the BACTEC Method
Background and purpose: Sepsis is a bacterial infection. Many patients lose their lives due to delayed diagnosis. The BACTEC method could be used for rapid and precise diagnosis of sepsis which can isolate different organisms in the shortest time with maximum sensitivity. This study aimed to identify the prevalence of positive blood cultures using the BACTEC in children with sepsis and to deter...

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 کاملDiagnosis of bacteremia in patients with suspected septicemia using polymerase chain reaction method
Background: Sepsis or blood stream infection is a clinical lethal syndrome with severe systemic inflammatory response to infection, if not treated quickly, is associated with dangerous consequences and high morbidity and mortality. The traditional and conventional method for identification of sepsis is blood culture method which is so time-consuming and long that it eliminates the possibility o...
متن کاملProcalcitonin as a Marker of Neonatal Sepsis in Intensive Care Units
Background: The appropriateness of using serum levels of procalcotonin (PCT) for early diagnosis of newborn sepsis is still controversial. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to compare the usefulness of PCT with those of serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and white blood cell (WBC) counts in the diagnosis and response to treatment of neonatal sepsis. Methods: A total of 47 ...
