Abstract

Aim: Congenital pneumonia (CP) is serious respiratory infection of the neonates. Recently introduced hematological parameter,immature reticulocyte fraction (IRF), has been investigated to gather clinical information about the prognosis of anemia as well asto measure the level of inflammatory activity in adult patients. In this study of late-preterm infants diagnosed with CP, we comparedIRF with common sepsis biomarkers and evaluated its role as inflammatory biomarker in neonates.Material and Methods: Late-preterms were categorized based on infectious vs. non-infectious etiology of the respiratory distress.Blood samples were taken at 48-72 hours after birth. IRF was measured with Sysmex XN-3000. Biomarkers such as complete bloodcount parameters, C-reactive protein (CRP), and procalcitonin (PCT) were used for the comparison.Results: Total of 25 late-preterms, 14 in CP-group and 11 in transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) group were included study.The groups were comparable in terms of gestational age, birth weight and cesarean section rate. The proportion of prolongedmembrane rupture was signifiantly higher in CP-group. No signifiant differences were found between hemoglobin, hematocritand reticulocyte in both groups (p>0.05). The value of IRF was higher in CP-group compared to in TTN-group, although it was notstatistically signifiant (37.8±7.2% vs. 31.6±9.4%, respectively) (p=0.08). PCT was signifiantly higher in CP-group (p=0.017). Nodifferences were found in other biomarkers between the groups (p>0.05).Conclusion: Our results suggest that PCT can be diagnostic marker in CP, but further studies are needed to confim role of IRF inneonatal inflammation.
