Abstract
We prospectively measured soluble interleukin-2 receptor levels in 56 premature infants with suspected sepsis and demonstrated significant differences between those with positive results on blood, urine, or cerebrospinal fluid cultures, and those with negative results. Soluble interleukin-2 receptor levels can be used to facilitate the diagnosis of sepsis in premature infants with negative blood culture results.
