Systemic Candidosis Diagnostic Test with Candida Score and Monocyte Count in Premature Infants with Late-Onset Sepsis: Research in Low Resources Country
Abstract:Abstract
Introduction: Candida is the cause of most systemic fungal infections that plays a role in the pathophysiology of sepsis in newborns, especially in premature infants with late-onset sepsis. The candida score can be used to assess the occurrence of systemic candidosis where a candida score 2.5 can accurately identify patients who are at high risk for candidiasis infection. Monocytes also play an important role in preventing candida invasion.
