Calcemia and Inflammatory Markers in Early-Onset Neonatal Infection.
CONCLUSION: S-Ca was decreased in neonates with early-onset infection and did show a slight tendency to inverse correlation with S-CRP and S-PCT. Pediatricians must be aware of the fact that a drop in total S-Ca should alert their attention to the risk of neonatal infection, and, likewise, that the children with neonatal infection are at a higher risk of hypocalcemia with all its consequences.
