新生儿脓毒症

新生儿脓毒症,Neonatal Sepsis,Most common cause of neonatal mortality in developing countries.Up to 20% of neonates develop sepsis and 1% die of sepsis related causes.Incidence of systemic infection is 3% (India) with septicemia (75%) and pneumonia (25%) NNP Network, 2005,Early and Late-onset Sepsis,NeoReviews, Vol.11, No.8, August 2010,Neonatal Sepsis,SepticemiaPneumoniaMeningitisArthritisOsteomyelitisUrinary tract infection NNP Network, 2005,Neonatal Sepsis,Intramural admissions -Klebsiella pneumoniae (32.5%) -Staphylococcus aureus (13.6%)Extramural admissions -Klebsiella (27.5%) -S aureus (38%) Sankar et al.

(protomers) that are arranged around a central pore,NeoReviews, 2005;6:e508-515,What is CRP?,Non- type- specific somatic polysaccharide fraction extracted from Streptococcus pneumoniae. “Fraction C” as it was called was precipitated by sera of acutely infected patients and sera of convalescent patients lost the ability to cause precipitation.Acute phase reactant protein composed of five identical nonglycosylated polypeptide subunits.It is synthesized in hepatocytes, regulated at the transcription level by interleukin (IL) -6 and IL -1- beta.The exact function of CRP is not known.CRP activates complement and has a functional effect on phagocytic cells and play an important role in the first line of host defense.CRP may be a key component in lipid metabolism and contribute to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction.,CRP Values in the Blood,In healthy adults: 0.8mg/ LIn infants: 10mg/LStarts with in 4-6 hours after stimulation and peaks around 36- 48 hours.Biologic half life is 19 hours with 50% reduction daily after the acute phase stimulus resolves.Measuring CRP concentration in CSF is unreliable.,Cell Surface Markers and Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factors,Neutrophil CD 11b and CD 64 appear to be promising markers.CD 64 had sensitivity of 80% and specificity of 79% in culture proven sepsis.CD 11b had a sensitivity of 96- 100% and specificity of 81- 100% in culture proven sepsis.GSF, mediator produced by the bone marrow facilitates proliferation of neutrophils in sepsis. A concentration of 200pg/ml has a sensitivity of 95% and specificity of 99%.,Procalcitonin (PCT),PCT is produced by the monocytes and hepatocytes and is propeptide of calcitonin.PCT rises 4-6 hours after exposure to bacterial endotoxin peaking at 6- 8 hours.Half life of PCT 25- 30 hours.Elevated concentrations are found in RDS, IDM and hemodynamically unstable infants.PCT values of 2.3ng/ ml and CRP 30mg/ L indicates a high likely hood of late onset sepsis.,CRP Concentration in Sepsis(Sensitivity, Specificity, Predictive Values),Serial measurements in early and late onset sepsis showed the best cut off value of 10mg/ L (Stanford)CRP concentration was normal in 30% of all sepsis episodes.PPV was 5% for culture proven early onset sepsis and 43% in late onset sepsis.Greater elevation in CRP concentrations were associated with higher probability of infection.Negative predictive value was highest both for early and late onset sepsis after three values (99.7 and 98.7)Two CRP concentration 70pg/ml)and CRP (10mg/L) showed a sensitivity of 80% and a specificity of 87%.TNF and median IL6 values were significantly higher in patients with sepsis compared to controls.,Franz et al. Pediatrics 2004;114:1-8,Molecular Genetics in Sepsis,Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis relies on the fact that bacteria specific 16S rRNA gene is conserved in all bacterial genomes and is a useful method for identification of bacteria in clinical samples.PCR assay is challenging due to small amount of residual DNA present reagents resulting in false positivity.Detection by PCR does not yield the antimicrobial pattern of the pathogen.Real time PCR combined with DNA Micro Array technology will allow identification and antimicrobial sensitivity of the organism.Proteomics: Significant alterations in the levels of eight serum proteins were found in infected neonates.,Start Parenteral Antibiotic (Ab)Send Cultures (report in 72 hrs.),Culture - ve,Clinically well(Stop Ab),Clinically ill(Cont Ab x 7-100),Culture + ve,Pneumonia, Sepsis(Cont Ab x 7-100),Meningitis, Osteomyelitis(Cont Ab x 3-6 wks),CRP Guided Decision for Early Onset Sepsis,NeoReviews, 2005;6:e508-515,CRP Guided Decision for Late Onset Sepsis,NeoReviews, 2005;6:e508-51
