    Abstract

    Background: Neonatal sepsis is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in neonates, requiring early and accurate diagnosis for effective management. While blood culture is considered the gold standard for diagnosing sepsis, it has limitations such as long processing time and low sensitivity. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of various sepsis markers, including C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), and interleukin-6, in comparison to blood culture for diagnosing neonatal sepsis.
