Diagnostic value of resistin and visfatin, in comparison with C-reactive protein, procalcitonin and interleukin-6 in neonatal sepsis

Abstract

In the light of these results, visfatin and resistin can be used as a diagnostic marker similar to CRP, procalcitonin and IL-6 in neonatal sepsis. Further studies are needed to better understand the role and predictive value of these molecules in neonatal sepsis.
