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 2

Comparison of biomarkers for late-onset sepsis between blood culture positive and negative septic cases.

	Culture positive ()	Culture negative ()	value
MPV (fL)			0.388
CRP (mg/L)			0.09
CRP/MPV			0.067
Serum IL-10 (pg/ml)			0.304
Salivary IL-10 (pg/ml)			0.304

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