title: [A comparison between 11 clinico-laboratory indices for the early diagnosis of neonatal sepsis].
abstract: The authors have compared 11 laboratory tests for diagnosis f neonatal sepsis: WBC cont, neutr. count, band count (> 8%), immature/mature neutrophil ratio (I:M > 0.2), throm. count, C reactive protein, alpha 1-antitrypsin, alpha 2-macroglobulin, IgM, GIC, C3 fraction of the complement. We determine higher sensitivity and specificity of CRP (80.1%; 80%), C3 fraction of the complement (82.4%; 86.5%) and I:M ratio (96.9%). We conclude that this tests are useful indicators of early diagnostic of neonatal infection.
