The Haematology of Infantile Sepsis*
ثبت نشده
چکیده
This communication records the results of blood investigations in infantile sepsis. This condition includes numerous septic manifestations, such as skin lesions (abscesses; boils; pustules), otorrhoea, gastroenteritis, pyuria, etc., occurring soon after birth and up to end of first year. The work on this subject is comparatively new, as indeed, is infantile haematology in general, nor does literature provide any representative or systematic account of haematological investigation of mild sepsis in infancy. An attempt to elucidate this problem is made here and for this purpose the selected cases included every manifestation of sepsis in infants. The blood was obtained from the heel, provision being made to have the feet warm before commencing, and blood counts and smears were carried out at weekly intervals over a period of four to five months.

متن کاملEarly severe infantile botulism.
Two neonates with a history of diarrhea, abrupt apnea, and suspected sepsis were proved to have infantile botulism. Initial symptoms in both infants suggested other diagnoses. Electrophysiologic studies were important in confirming the diagnosis. Early severe infantile botulism may be rare but should be considered in neonates who have hypotonia and respiratory arrest or a sepsis-like clinical p...
متن کاملAssociation of Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms of C-Reactive Protein Gene with Susceptibility to Infantile Sepsis in Southern China
BACKGROUND C-reactive protein (CRP) is an important biomarker of sepsis. Several single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the CRP gene can determine plasma CRP levels and are risk factors in many diseases, such as cancer, arteritis, and diabetes. However, it is unknown whether polymorphisms in CRP are associated with susceptibility to and outcome of infantile sepsis. We explored the effect of ...
