“…By ROC analysis, the sensitivity of IG to detect serious bacterial infection was determined as 66% and its specificity as 84%. 21 In our study, which analyzed the IG values of pediatric patients with sepsis, the results were consistent with the literature in terms of 46% sensitivity and 80% specificity in the diagnosis of sepsis.…”

“…In a study among pediatric patients admitted to the emergency room as a result of fever, IG levels, WBC, and CRP were found to be statistically significantly higher in patients with severe bacterial infection than in patients with non‐bacterial infection. By ROC analysis, the sensitivity of IG to detect serious bacterial infection was determined as 66% and its specificity as 84% 21 . In our study, which analyzed the IG values of pediatric patients with sepsis, the results were consistent with the literature in terms of 46% sensitivity and 80% specificity in the diagnosis of sepsis.…”

Background Sepsis is one of the causes of pre‐treatment morbidity and mortality in the pediatric age group. In the present study, we investigated the place of the immature granulocyte percentage, (IG) immature reticulocyte fraction (IRF), and immature platelet fraction (IPF) in the diagnosis of sepsis. Methods Complete blood count, C‐reactive protein, (CRP) procalcitonin (PCT) and blood cultures were measured in 125 critical patients who were followed‐up in the intensive care unit with the suspicion of sepsis and 65 healthy children between 2017 and 2019. In addition to the complete blood counts and routine parameters, IG, IRF, and IPF were examined in the patients. Results When the critical patient group and the healthy control group were compared, it was found that the total number of leukocytes (white blood cells), neutrophil count, platelet count, CRP, PCT, IG, IRF, and IPF values were higher at statistically significant levels. When septic and non‐septic patients were compared, it was found that the CRP, PCT,IGP, and IPF were higher at statistically significant levels in the septic patients. Conclusions It was concluded that CRP, PCT, IG, and IPF were significant in determining sepsis and that PCT was the most sensitive and specific biomarker in these parameters. We believe that these parameters may be suitable for practical use in determining sepsis because they give faster results and suggest the diagnosis of sepsis.
