New Dosages of Inflammatory Markers for the Early Diagnosis of Nosocomial Bacterial Infections of the Newborn (NOSODIAG)

January 30, 2020 updated by: University Hospital, Strasbourg, France

Interest of New Dosages of Inflammatory Markers for the Early Diagnosis of Nosocomial Bacterial Infections of the Newborn

This study aims to evaluate new dosage of inflammatory markers or new inflammatory markers for the diagnosis of nosocomial bacterial infection. We made the hypothesis that these new dosages or new inflammatory markers could be more useful than dosage of inflammatory markers already used in clinical practice (especially the use of a combination of interleukins (6 or 8) and C-reactive protein for the management of newborns with a clinical suspicion of nosocomial bacterial infection and especially could allow to avoid excessive treatment with antibiotics
