CRP and meconium aspiration syndrome: Meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS), delayed transition after birth, hemolysis, tissue injury, surgery, premature infant exposure to glucocorticoids, maternal fever during labour, prolonged rupture of membranes, stressful delivery or fetal distress, prolonged labour, perinatal asphyxia or shock, surfactant administration, intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH), and pneumothorax are just a few of the conditions that cause an increase in CRP. Although a high CRP level indicates the presence of infant sepsis, it must be used in conjunction with other markers to make clinical decisions [4].
