  • Title: [The diagnosis of infection in the neonatal period].
    Author: Jiménez R, Moya C, Apéstegui A, Jiménez E, Mora LA.
    Journal: Bol Med Hosp Infant Mex; 1977; 34(5):1073-80. PubMed ID: 562171.
    Abstract:
    The laboratory tests used to establish the diagnosis of infection in the newborn period were studied and it was found that more than 700 band cells/mm3 in peripheral blood supported the diagnosis of sepsis and that concomitant thrombocytopenia increased these possibilities. Among the other tests, only the IgM was found of diagnostic value in cases of intrauterine infection.
