[Evaluating the usefulness of qualitative analysis of latex c-reactive protein for diagnosing neonatal sepsis]

We analyzed the results of determinations C-reactive protein (Latex Test Dialab firm) of 136 newborns. We divided them into three groups: with generalized infections, with infection without sepsis and without infection. Sensitivity of method for neonates with septicaemia was 60%, for neonates with infection without sepsis--81.25%, together for all infections--66.1%. After overlooking sepsis caused by Staphylococcus epidermidis sensitivity for sepsis was 81.8% and for all infections--81.6%.
