ABSTRACT
Early Onset Neonatal Sepsis (EONS) is a clinical situation resulting from the invasion andproliferation of bacteria, fungi or viruses in the newborn (NB) bloodstream, which occurs within the first 72hours of life. To determine the diagnostic usefulness of laboratory tests performed on infants with suspicion ofearly neonatal sepsis at the Santa Barbara Integrated Hospital, Honduras. A case-control study was carried outduring 2016; the cases were 20 infants with early onset neonatal sepsis, and the controls were 40 infants whowere admitted as potentially septic, but the blood culture result was negative. Sensitivity, specificity, positivepredictive value (PPV) and negative (NPV) of leukocytosis, platelets, initial C-reactive protein (CRP) and controlwere calculated. Data were analyzed with SPSS version 19. It was found that 17 (28.3 %) NB were women and43 (71.7 %) were men. The VPP of the initial PCR was 5 %, increasing to 85 % in the control study. The isolatedmicroorganism was enterobacter in 6 (30 %) of the RNs. Of the 23 (38.3 %) neonates who presentedcomplications; 11 (48 %) had positive blood culture and 12 (52 %) had negative blood cultures. The dischargecondition was medical discharge in 55 (92 %) and referred to a more complex hospital 5 (8 %) of the neonates.The VPP of the C-reactive protein increases considerably when doing a laboratory control,between 24-48 hours.
RESUMEN
Sepsis neonatal temprana es aquella situación clínica derivada de la invasión y proliferación de bacterias, hongos o virus en el torrente sanguíneo del recién nacido (RN), que se presenta en las primeras 72 horas de vida. Determinar la utilidad diagnóstica de los exámenes de laboratorio que se realizan a los RN con sospecha de sepsis neonatal temprana, en el Hospital Santa Bárbara Integrado (HSBI), Honduras. Se realizó un estudio de casos y controles, durante el año 2016, los casos fueron 20 RN con sepsisneonatal temprana comprobada por hemocultivo y los controles 40 RN que ingresaron como potencial mentesépticos, pero el resultado de hemocultivo fue negativo. Se calculó sensibilidad, especificidad, valor predictivo positivo (VPP) y negativo (VPN) de leucocitosis, plaquetas, proteína C reactiva (PCR) inicial y la de control. Los datos fueron analizados con el programa SPSS versión 19. Se encontró que 17 (28.3 %) RN eran mujeres y 43(71.7 %) hombres. El VPP de la PCR inicial fue 5 %, aumentando a 85% en el estudio de control. El microorganismo aislado fue enterobacter en 6 (30 %) de los RN. De los 23 (38.3 %) neonatos que presentaron complicación; 11 (48 %) tenían hemocultivo positivo y 12 (52 %) tenían hemocultivo negativo. La condición de egreso fue alta médica en 55 (92 %) y referido a un hospital de mayor complejidad 5 (8 %)de los neonatos. El VPP, de la proteína C reactiva, aumenta considerablemente al hacer un control laboratorial,entre 24-48 horas.
