hematological and biological markers of neonatal sepsis
Authors
abstract
septicemia in neonates is the commonest cause of mortality. early recognition and diagnosis of neonatal sepsis remains a challenge because of the variable and nonspecific clinical presentation. the laboratory criteria are often non specific and not fully reliable. the objective of this review is to highlight the various hematological and biological markers of neonatal sepsis. we searched pubmed and elsevier’s web of science from studies evaluating the hematological and biological markers of neonatal sepsis. the key words used were “neonatal sepsis”, “hematological marker” and ”biomarker”. since a battery of markers of neonatal sepsis are available, it is always better to rely on a combination of markers along with the clinical correlation.

Hematological and Biological Markers of Neonatal Sepsis
Septicemia in neonates is the commonest cause of mortality. Early recognition and diagnosis of neonatal sepsis remains a challenge because of the variable and nonspecific clinical presentation. The laboratory criteria are often non specific and not fully reliable. The objective of this review is to highlight the various hematological and biological markers of neonatal sepsis.

full textNew emerging biological markers of neonatal sepsis
| 2017 | 1 cell‐surface antigens are nonspecific biomarkers that have been extensively studied for the diagnosis and management of LONS. Serum amyloid A increases up to 1000‐fold in response to inflammation‐associated reactive amyloidosis. The utility of hepcidin as a regulator of inflammation for the diagnosis of late‐onset sepsis in very low birth weight infants was recently evaluated.[4] Isc...
full textDiagnostic Evaluation of Hematological Sepsis Score and Presepsin in Neonatal Sepsis
Background: Early detection of neonatal sepsis and categorization of patients based on clinical severity is not yet effectively achieved. Some hematological parameters are used to formulate a hematological scoring system (HSS) and a modified hematological scoring system (MHSS) to diagnose neonatal sepsis. A promising biomarker: Presepsin, or Soluble Cluster of Differentiation 14 SubType (sCD14-...
full textHematological and Biochemical Predictors of Mortality in Neonatal Sepsis
Introduction: This study was conducted to study the factors predicting mortality in neonatal sepsis, so that focused attention is paid to them, with an aim to bring down the mortality rates in neonates admitted with sepsis. Methods: This study was a prospective observational study. Neonates who were admitted with a suspicion of sepsis or in whom sepsis was suspected anytime during hospital stay...
full textHematological Scoring System for Early Diagnosis of Neonatal Sepsis
Background: To determine the accuracy of a simple and cost effective haematological scoring system (HSS) in the early diagnosis of neonatal sepsis using blood culture as a gold standard. Methods: In this prospective cross sectional study newborns (n=170) with history of prolonged rupture of membranes, maternal intrapartum fever > 1010 F or clinical signs of sepsis namely; neonatal fever ≥ 1010 ...
full textNeonatal Sepsis: An Update
Sepsis is the most common cause of neonatal mortality. As per National Neonatal-Perinatal Database (NNPD), 2002-2003, the incidence of neonatal sepsis in India was 30 per 1000 live births. Signs and symptoms of sepsis are nonspecific; therefore empirical antimicrobial therapy is promptly initiated after obtaining appropriate cultures. The early manifestations of neonatal sepsis are vague and il...
