Examining the Utility of Rapid Salivary C-Reactive Protein as a Predictor for Neonatal Sepsis: An Analytical Cross-Sectional Pilot Study

This study aimed to compare the rapid bedside quantitative assessment of C-reactive protein (CRP) in saliva to serum CRP to predict blood culture-positive sepsis in neonates. The research was carried out over eight months at Fernandez Hospital in India (February 2021–September 2021). The study inclu...
