Early Diagnosis of Neonatal Sepsis Using Hematological Profiles.

Abstract

Preterm and extremely low-birth-weight newborns are at a higher risk for early-onset neonatal sepsis (NN-SP). This condition is often linked to intrapartum fever, PROM, and sepsis occurring within the first day of life. The causal pathogen can be acquired through intrauterine transmission or from the mother's flora. Therefore, our study aimed to evaluate PC and PI in cases involving NN-SP. Therefore, we can conclude that analyzing the PC and its indices can improve the prognosis of sepsis in NN. Studying NN using this method is a cost-effective approach that helps prevent mortality and morbidity. Early identification of newborn sepsis can help reduce the associated medical tests and medical bills. Clinical correlation with specific indicators and tools is a method for achieving this.
