Presepsin: A Novel Marker for the Neonatal Sepsis: A Brief Review

Abstract

Neonatal sepsis has been recognized as a global health problem with high incidence across the globe. Delay in the early diagnosis leads to increase in the morbidity and mortality. Several biomarkers have been studied and evaluated for the possible early detection of the neonatal sepsis. In present review, the application of presepsin for the possible potential biomarker for the neonatal sepsis has been evaluated.
