A Potent Marker of Neonatal Sepsis- Morphological Changes in Leukocytes
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Abstract: Hematologic scoring system (HSS) can improve the efficiency of the complete blood count as a screening test for sepsis and permits an objective assessment of hematological changes. In present study 150 cases of neonatal sepsis were studied in a period of one and a half year from March 2015 to July 2016. Out of 150 cases, 56 cases had proven sepsis of which 49 cases showed morphological changes in their leukocytes which is the most sensitive marker of neonatal sepsis. The best parameter amongst all appears to be the study of morphological changes with both high sensitivity and specificity. Overall impression goes in the favour of the battery of investigation as the whole combination is good to assess and compare the septic and aseptic cases early.
