CRP and Neonatal sepsis: Additionally, another study reported an association between GA and the magnitude of clinically relevant CRP response, with a lower response of six (8%) in newborns aged 24-27 weeks compared to those born between 40 and 41 weeks at 18 (25%). Moreover, Kawamura et al. reported a lower sensitivity of CRP in diagnosing neonatal sepsis in preterm newborns compared to term babies (61.5% vs. 75%), challenging the idea that the baby’s maturity reflects the maturation of the immune system, as suggested by Brankica [10].
