Abstract
- C reactive protein (CRP) levels are sequencially settled in 58 children, divided in three groups in dependence of their illness: acute bacterial pneumopathy, acute pyelonephritis or neonatal sepsis, all of them receiving antibiotic treatment. CRP values are compared with clinical, radiologic and bacteriologic findings, showing in patients of the first two groups a normalization between fourth and ninth day of treatment, together with clinical and radiologic improvement. In contrast, it was shown that normalization of CRP in neonatal sepsis group was quite slow related to the torpid evolution. The sequentially measure of CRP was prove useful as antibiotic treatment control in children affected with different infectious pictures.
