Overview

Analysis identifies proinflammatory markers' diagnostic value alongside blood culture in neonatal sepsis cases.

Key Points

  • Procalcitonin showed the highest sensitivity at 90%, indicating its utility in diagnosing neonatal sepsis.
  • Blood culture isolation rate was 25%, emphasizing the continued need for this standard diagnostic approach.
  • Sensitivity for C-Reactive Protein was 70%, suggesting its role but not as a sole diagnostic marker.
  • Among 80 neonates studied, 77.5% had early onset sepsis, highlighting the critical nature of early diagnosis.
