Abstract:
With the developing of the immunology,genetic diagnosis, and flow cytometry technology, the diagnosis of neonatal infectious diseases have been a lot of new improvement.Serum amyloid protein A,interferon-gamma-inducible protein 10 and triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 may be valuable in neonatal infectious diseases. Detection of the bacterial genes by gene chip hybridization technology can diagnose neonatal septicemia rapidly. Each of the diagnosis indicators for infection has their respective clinical and laboratory features. The comprehensive understanding of the biological characteristics,sensitivity,specificity of each indicator, and continuous and joint monitoring of several indicators can improve the diagnostic sensitivity and negative predictive value. It is the direction of infectious diseases diagnosis in future.This paper reviews the current diagnostic indicators for neonatal infectious disease.
