    Abstract

    Septicaemia is recognized as foremost causes of mortality in neonates. Hence, premature diagnosis is vital to avoid fatal outcome. Aim: The aim of the study is to correlate C-reactive protein and blood culture in neonatal sepsis. Materials and Methods: A total of 132 neonates who were diagnosed with neonatal sepsis were included in the present study for a period of one year. All the subjects were subjected to blood culture test and CRP. Results: CRP was reported to have Sensitivity of 84.85%, Specificity of 75.76%, Positive Predictive Value of 53.85%, Negative Predictive Value of 93.75% and diagnostic accuracy of 78.03% against blood culture. Conclusion: CRP was originated to have a high diagnostic value in standings of sensitivity and sky crafting specificity. Hence, this early marker for sepsis can assist as central tool in diminishing the mortality rates in neonates.
