- Abstract
Despite the huge progress in neonatology, especially in care of premature infants, newborn sepsis remains a big problem. In neonatology, we talk about early-onset newborn sepsis and late-onset newborn sepsis. This review is focused on early-onset sepsis. Early diagnosis and initiation of therapy is essential for infant`s good prognosis. Classic definition of sepsis is based on the clinical signs and proof of pathogen in the blood stream. But, this is problematic in clinical practice, so another laboratory mar kers of bacterial infection are used. In this review article, we discuss commonly used markers. In the second part of this article we introduce new diagnostic possibilities, especially new laboratory markers - calprotectin and CD64 (surface marker of leukocytes).
