Abstract:
For a long time, C-reactive protein (CRP)and procalcitonin(PCT) have been widely used as sensitive indicators in the diagnosis of bacterial pneumonia.Since the development of lung ultrasound, our group found that in the diagnosis of bacterial pneumonia of the newborn, lung ultrasound is not only superior to the traditional chest X-ray, but also the abnormal signs of lung ultrasound in neonates with pneumonia appear earlier than the traditional sensitive indicators such as CRP and PCT.In this paper, it is introduced through typical cases.
