Neonatal sepsis contributes substantially to neo-natal morbidity and mortality, and is an ongoing major global public health challenge.1According to the onset of age, neonatal sepsis is divided into early-onset sepsis (EOS) and late-onset sepsis (LOS).
Apr 18, 2024 · Interleukin-. 6 (IL-6) is a promising marker for neonatal sepsis. We aimed to test the accuracy of IL-6 in neonates after 72 h of life in case of late onset sepsis (LOS). We searched for studies regarding IL-6 accuracy for the diagnosis of LOS between 1990 and 2020 using the PubMed database.
