Sepsis is a state of life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by dysregulation of the body's response to infection. Organ dysfunction is marked by an increase in SOFA score ≥ 2 or qSOFA score ≥ 2. Septic shock is a subset of sepsis with fairly severe circulatory disorders that can significantly increase mortality. Although the current gold sta...

... followed by focal infections of the urinary tract (12/58=20.69%). There was a significant difference in the number of septic shock patients with respiratory tract infection and the number of sepsis patients with respiratory tract infection (p=0.011) ( Table 2). Sepsis patients have different risk factors for developing septic shock that depends on the comorbidities and the underlying diseases (Table 3). ...Similar publications
The aim of this study was to analyze the serum concentration of interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), D-dimer, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), ferritin, and procalcitonin in COVID-19 patients with different forms of the disease. We performed a prospective cohort study on 137 COVID-19 consecutive patients, divided into four groups according t...
Background and Aims
Presepsin is a soluble CD14 subtype known as a sepsis biomarker. Recently, it has been reported to correlate with kidney function decline in elderly patients with chronic kidney disease and to predict acute kidney injury in patients with sepsis. However, the potential role of presepsin in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with...
Little is known about the role of neutrophil CD64 (nCD64) in detecting sepsis early in Asian populations. We examined the cut-off and predictive values of nCD64 for diagnosing sepsis in Vietnamese intensive care units (ICU) patients. A cross-sectional study was conducted at the ICU of Cho Ray Hospital between January 2019 and April 2020. All 104 ne...
Bacterial and viral sepsis induce alterations of all hematological parameters and procalcitonin is used as a biomarker of infection and disease severity. Our aim was to study the hematological patterns associated with pulmonary sepsis triggered by bacteria and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome–Coronavirus–type-2 (SARS-CoV-2) and to identify the dis...

Covid-19 is a new type of virus that attacks the respiratory system and can infect humans, which can cause respiratory illness and death from acute pneumonia. Hematology and procalcitonin are laboratory investigations that are often used. This study aims to determine the relationship between the results of the examination of the leukocyte count and the ratio of neutrophil lymphocytes to procalcitonin in patients with confirmed Covid-19. This type of research uses a cross sectional design using a purposive random sampling technique that uses secondary data. Research data collection was carried out in June 2022 at the Ibnu Sina Gresik Hospital Laboratory. Statistical test using Spearman correlation test. Based on the results of the study, it was found p = 0.481, indicating that the results were not statistically significant with the correlation coefficient (r) showing a negative value of 0.134, so it can be concluded that there is a very weak relationship between the number of leukocytes and procalcitonin in patients with confirmed Covid-19. A decrease in the number of leukocytes by 1 cell/µl can increase procalcitonin levels by 0.134 ng/ml and based on the results p = 0.491 indicating that the results are not statistically significant with a correlation coefficient value (r) of 0.131 so that it shows a very weak correlation between the ratio relationship neutrophil lymphocytes to procalcitonin in patients with confirmed Covid-19.
