PDFAbstract
Objective To investigate the application value of procalcitonin (PCT), C- reactive protein (CRP), white blood cell count (WBC) in the clinical diagnosis of neonatal infection diseases. Methods 200 cases of newborn diseased with infectious diseases admitted in our hospital from Jan. 2015 to Dec. 2015 had been selected as experimental group, while another 198 cases of healthy newborn examined in the meantime had been selected as control group, the two groups of newborn had been compared with each other in terms of PCT, CRP and WBC level. Results PCT, CRP and WBC levels were statistically significant difference between experimental group and reference group (P<0.05). The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of combined use of PCT, CRP and WBC was significantly better than other detection methods in newborn infectious diseases. Conclusion PCT, CRP and WBC can be used as an effective indicator of neonatal clinical diagnosis of infectious diseases, which was great specificity and sensitivity compared with other detection methods.
