Neonatal sepsis is one of the commonest causes of morbidity and mortality in the neonates, early diagnosis will help the usage of proper antibiotic which reducing the morbidity and mortality, This study was conducted on 90 neonates divided into three groups; proven, suspected and control groups, to detect sepsis early and to clearly differentiate infected from non-infected neonates among the risk of infection by using PCT comparing to CRP.
