Abstract excerpt
Neonatal sepsis remains an important and common cause of morbidity and mortality among newborn infants, especially in developing countries. The aim of the present study was to determine whether serum trypsin levels and genotypes of cationic trypsinogen (PRSS1) gene could be served as markers for predicting neonatal sepsis. The serum trypsin levels and genotypes of PRSS1 were examined in both 50 infants with...
