abstract

neonatal sepsis is a disease of infants who are less than 1 month of age. these infants are clinically ill, and their blood culture are positive for bacteria. the reported incidence of neonatal sepsis for allinfants is 1 to 10 per 1000 live births. the mortality rate is 4.2-26%. the clinical signs are not specific and diagnosis of neonatal sepsis is one of the most difficult tasks in clinical medicine. the aim of this work was determination of cd11b sensitivity and specificity for early detection of neonatal sepsis. we studied 65 neonates with gestational age of 27 to 38 weeks who were suspected for sepsis within the 28 days of life. whole blood was obtained from neonates to determine cd11b expression on peripheral blood neutrophils by flow cytometry. c-reactive protein (crp) was measured qualitatively. neonates were divided into two groups. classification was based on the result of the blood culture. in the sepsis group all of the neonates (n = 8) showed positive blood culture and clinical symptoms. in the suspected group (n = 57) the neonates showed clinical signs but blood cultures were negative. sensitivity and specificity of cd11b were 75%, 100% respectively. also positive and negative predictive values of cd11b were 100% and 86% respectively. results of present study and previous studies showed that measurement of neutrophil surface markers can be useful for diagnosis of infection in the early phases. also, the quantitative measurement of crp in addition to cd11b further enhances the ability to diagnose infections and improves sensitivity and negative predictive value by 100%.

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...

Evaluation of CD11b expression on peripheral blood neutrophils for early detection of neonatal sepsis.

Neonatal sepsis is a disease of infants who are less than 1 month of age. These infants are clinically ill, and their blood culture are positive for bacteria. The reported incidence of neonatal sepsis for all infants is 1 to 10 per 1000 live births. The mortality rate is 4.2-26%. The clinical signs are not specific and diagnosis of neonatal sepsis is one of the most difficult tasks in clinical ...

Neutrophil CD11b expression and circulating interleukin-8 as diagnostic markers for early-onset neonatal sepsis.

OBJECTIVE To assess neutrophil CD11b and circulating interleukin 8 (IL-8) as markers of early-onset infection in neonates. METHODS The study comprised 39 neonates, with a gestational age of 29 to 41 weeks, suspected of infection within 48 hours of life. Neutrophil surface expression of CD11b was quantified with flow cytometry and plasma IL-8 with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Both dat...

Expression of CD4 on human peripheral blood neutrophils.

CD4, the primary receptor for entry of HIV, is known to be expressed on T cells and monocytes/macrophages; healthy natural killer (NK) lymphocytes; in vitro human herpesvirus 6 (HHV6)-infected CD8+, NK, and gammadelta T lymphocytes; CD34+ progenitor cells; and a subset of eosinophils and basophils. We here report the unconventional expression of CD4 at the surface of peripheral blood neutrophil...
