Research on the value of C reactive protein in diagnosis of neonatal septicemia / 国际检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the value of C reactive protein (CRP) in the diagnosis of neonatal septicemia .Methods 60 cases of neonatal septicemia were selected as observation group ,at the same time ,60 cases of healthy newborns were selected as control group .The levels of CRP and WBC were detected ,and the blood culture was accessed .Drug sensitive test was progressed in infants with positive blood culture results .The diagnostic values of CRP ,WBC and CRP+ WBC were compared .Results In observation group ,there were 54 cases ,49 cases and 38 cases with positive results of blood culture and the detections of CRP and WBC ,respec‐tively .The accuracy of CRP+WBC was significantly higher than separate detections of CRP and WBC (P<0 .05) .The ROC AUC of CRP+WBC was 0 .852 1 ,which was higher than that of CRP and WBC .Conclusion CRP combined with WBC detection has certain clinical application value in diagnosis of neonatal septicemia .
