Significance of neutrophilic CD64 as an early marker for detection of neonatal sepsis and prediction of disease outcome
Abstract Background: Neonatal sepsis (NS) is a global health problem owing to its significant contribution to morbidity and mortality. We evaluated the significance of neutrophilic CD64 (nCD64) expression as an early marker for diagnosis of NS compared to CRP and … Continue reading

Biomarkers for diagnosis of neonatal sepsis: a literature review
Abstract Sepsis is an important cause of mortality and morbidity in neonatal populations. There has been constant search of an ideal sepsis biomarker that have high sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV), so that both … Continue reading
Leminorella sepsis in very low birth weight neonate as cause of neonatal mortality
Abstract Leminorella is a member of Enterobacteriaceae family and was known previously as Enteric Group 57. Based upon genetic differences using DNA hybridization, it has three taxa: Leminorella grimontii, Leminorella richardii, and Leminorella sp. strain 3. The third one is … Continue reading

Molecular tests to detect infections in newborn babies
A new Cochrane Systematic Review looking at whether molecular tests detect infection better than the standard culture methods for detecting infection in newborn babies has found that “although there were some issues with selection of newborn babies for this review, … Continue reading
Pathogenic bacteria distributions and drug resistance analysis in 96 cases of neonatal sepsis
This study aimed to summarize common pathogens and associated drug resistance in neonatal sepsis (NS).Blood culture and drug sensitivity results from 96 NS cases treated from January 2010 to August 2014 were retrospectively analysed. A total of 97 pathogenic bacteria … Continue reading
