CRP X EONN SEPSIS

There is no trans-placental transfer of CRP
•Using moderate to high quality evidence:
–CRP at presentation is, at best, a very useful test for ruling in early-onset neonatal infection particularly when serial testing is performed over a period of 2 days following presentation;
–It is NOT a useful test for ruling out early-onset neonatal infection as a single test, especially in the first eight hours of life.
