Salivary and Serum Interleukin-10, C-Reactive Protein, Mean Platelet Volume, and CRP/MPV Ratio in the Diagnosis of Late-Onset Neonatal Sepsis in Full-Term Neonates

Table 1

Comparison of biomarkers for late-onset sepsis between septic and control neonates.

	Sepsis ()	Control ()	value
Total leucocyte count (/mm^3)			0.8
Platelet count (10^3/mm^3)			0.012
MPV (fL)			<0.001
CRP (mg/L)			<0.001
CRP/MPV ratio			<0.001
Serum IL-10 (pg/ml)			<0.001
Salivary IL-10 (pg/ml)			<0.001

MPV: mean platelet volume; CRP: C-reactive protein; IL-10: interleukin 10.
