Abstract

Timely diagnosis of neonatal bacterial infection remains one of the most common and problematic tasks encountered in the neonatal setting. The potential for the reduction in morbidity and mortality and a reduction in antibiotic usage has stimulated the ongoing search for laboratory methods for diagnosis of infection before the clinical signs become apparent. We evaluated the diagnostic value of the plasma level of soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) in distinguishing between sepsis and non-infectious inflammatory disorders in neonates.
