Abstract

Serum CRP levels in the early diagnosis of neonatal sepsis were investigated by lateks agglutination method in 100 newborns. CRP was positive in 10 cases aut of the 12 septic newborns. ln this study, the specificity of CRP was found 97% and the sensitivity was found 66%. it is concluded that serum CRP is valuable criteriafor early sepsis diagnosis.
