Zusammenfassung
Introduction: The gold standard for diagnosis of bacterial sepsis is a positive blood culture. However, results are usually not available before to 48 to 72h and pathogens are detected in only 25% of patients. Molecular assays for the detection of DNA in the blood have been tested as new diagnostic tools for early identification of bacterial sepsis in adults. Objective: To adapt and evaluate a commercially available PCR system for use in neonatology by using small blood volumes. Materials and Methods: Blood specimens of 38 VLBW infants (mean±SD, range: 829g±242, 350–1150g) with clinical sepsis suspicion were ana…
