Utility of Alpha Defensin and 16S rRNA Gene in Diagnosis of Prosthetic Joint Infection

value of measuring Alpha defensin by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in diagnosis of Prosthetic joint infection as a rapid bio marker

value of measuring 16S rRNA gene by conventional PCR in diagnosis of Prosthetic joint infection as more accurate test

New Protocol for Febrile Neonate Management

New Protocol for Identification of Serious Bacterial Infection in Febrile Newborn

All febrile neonate admitted and evaluated for SBI. An episode of SBI was defined as (A) the growth of a known pathogenic bacteria in one or more of cultures (bacteremia, meningitis, osteomyelitis, suppurative arthritis, urinary tract infection, bacterial enteritis, and pneumonia), (B) any disease commonly associated with bacterial pathogens including pneumonia, acute otitis media, suppurative arthritis, osteomyelitis, and soft-tissue infections (cellulitis, abscess, mastitis, and omphalitis). Pneumonia was defined as a new discrete infiltration on the chest film, which was confirmed by an attending pediatric radiologist with the presence of typical clinical signs and symptoms.

All infants were classified at low-risk by the criteria of Rochester, Boston, Philadelphia and new created Sisli Etfal protocols.
