Objectives: To compare the predictive value of PCT, C reactive protein (CRP) and white blood cell count (WBC) for the diagnosis of late onset sepsis (LOS) in very low birth weight (VLBW) neonates. Methods: We prospectively determined the serum concentration of PCT, CRP and WBC in 53 ...

The hematological analysis determined the levels of red blood cells (RBC), the hematocrit (HCT), the hemoglobin (HGB) levels, the lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, the total white blood cell (WBC) count, and the platelet (thrombocyte) levels. The heparin tube was ...
