| Abstract | ||
| Background: Meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) is linked to inflammation,but data on the patterns of hematologica indices and C-reactive protein (CRP) in MAS are lacking The aim of the study was to evaluate CRP, white blood cell count (WBC), absolute neutrophil count (ANC), and procalcitonin in MASandtoassesstheirassociationwithdiseaseseverity. Methods: a prospective hospital based studyincluding 200 babies admitted in this period with MSAF, among those 50 babies have meconium aspiration syndrome (25 males). Recruited neonates were 1-7 days old with range of weight from 2 to 3.9kg Results: all the inflammatory indices were markedly elevated in cases of MAS with septicemia in comparison with cases of MAS without septicemia, maximum CRP, and maximum PCT values were higher in neonates with very sever and sever MAS compared to non sever MAS. PCT and CRP correlated with duration of mechanical ventilation , duration of any respiratory support and length of hospital stay. PCT more sensitive rather than other inflammatory indices. | ||
