A Prospective Comparative Study of Umbilical Cord Blood Culture Versus Peripheral Venous Blood Culture in Diagnosis of Early Onset Neonatal Sepsis in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Tertiary Care Hospital
Author(s): Pratyush Jain* and Mehul Gosai
Background: Neonatal sepsis is a major cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Blood culture and sensitivity is gold standard for the diagnosis of neonatal sepsis. Low sensitivity of blood culture especially in newborn is due to small volume of blood sample collected from neonates and antibiotics given before sampling. The aim was to evaluate the use of umbilical cord blood culture in the diagnosis of early onset neonatal sepsis as compared to Peripheral vein blood culture. Aims and Objective: To compare the sensitivity and specificity of umbilical cord blood culture and peripheral vein blood culture in diagnosis of early onset neonatal sepsis. also, to compare the organisms identified by umbilical cord blood culture and venous blood culture. Research methodology: A prospective, analytical, c.. View more»
