  • Title: Diagnostic and prognostic role of CRP and m-ESR in neonatal septicemia.
    Author: Sharma A, Kutty CV, Sabharwal U, Rathi S, Mohan H.
    Journal: Indian Pediatr; 1993 Mar; 30(3):347-50. PubMed ID: 8365785.
    Abstract:
    Serial estimation of CRP and m-ESR was done in 65 clinically suspected cases of septicemia and 25 healthy controls. Of these 65, 12 (18%) had a negative CRP test at the time of diagnosis and rest all had significantly elevated CRP and m-ESR compared to matched controls at the time of diagnosis. A persistently negative CRP test indicated bad prognosis. With treatment a declining trend of CRP was seen in survivors, but in deteriorating/expired babies the levels kept on increasing. However, m-ESR had no prognostic significance.
