To determine serum IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-alpha levels in neonatal sepsis at the time of diagnosis and after therapy, and to show the meaningful on the follow up.
This prospective study was performed on newborns who were hospitalized for neonatal sepsis and who were classified as culture-proven sepsis (n=12), as culture-negative sepsis (n=21), and as healthy newborns (n=17).
At the time of diagnosis, serum IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-alpha levels of culture-proven sepsis were significantly higher than those of the control groups (P<.05). At the time of diagnosis, IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-alpha levels of culture-proven sepsis and culture-negative sepsis were significantly higher than levels at the seventh day after antibiotic treatment.
Serum IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-alpha are mediators of inflammation and can be used at the diagnosis and at the evaluation of the therapeutic efficiency in neonatal sepsis.
测定新生儿败血症诊断时及治疗后的血清白细胞介素-1β(IL-1β)、白细胞介素-6(IL-6)、白细胞介素-8(IL-8)和肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)水平,并显示其在随访中的意义。
本前瞻性研究对因新生儿败血症住院的新生儿进行,这些新生儿被分为确诊败血症组(n = 12)、培养阴性败血症组(n = 21)和健康新生儿组(n = 17)。
诊断时,确诊败血症组的血清IL-1β、IL-6、IL-8和TNF-α水平显著高于对照组(P <.05)。诊断时,确诊败血症组和培养阴性败血症组的IL-1β、IL-6、IL-8和TNF-α水平显著高于抗生素治疗后第7天的水平。
血清IL-1β、IL-6、IL-8和TNF-α是炎症介质,可用于新生儿败血症的诊断和治疗效果评估。
