Resumen
La Procalcitonina es una proteína derivada de la Calcitonina y es considerada una
prueba de alto valor diagnóstico de la Infección Bacteriana Neonatal, El objetivo de este
estudio es demostrar la importancia de utilizar el Biomarcador de Procalcitonina como
diagnóstico precoz para determinar las Infecciones Bacterianas en el área de Unidad de
Cuidados intensivos Neonatales del Hospital de Especialidades Dr. Abel Gilbert Pontón
durante el periodo Enero a Septiembre del 2016. El método utilizado fue el cuantitativo
descriptivo, correlacional, transversal no experimental., los datos fueron obtenidos de datos
de laboratorio e historias clínicas. Los resultados obtenidos fueron que la Procalcitonina
tiene una alta sensibilidad (95%) y una especificidad (34%) para el diagnóstico de Infección
Bacteriana Neonatal, mucho más alto que los valores de Leucocitos, Proteína C Reactiva y
los Cultivos.
Procalcitonin is a protein derived from the Calcitonin and is considered a test of high diagnostic value of Neonatal Bacterial Infection. This is a challenge for all clinician, therefore, the aim of this study is to demonstrate the importance of using the Biomarker procalcitonin (PCT) as early diagnosis to determine the Bacterial infections in the area of Unit Neonatal Intensive Care Specialist Hospital Dr. Abel Gilbert Ponton during the period January to September 2016. The method used was descriptive, correlational, not experimental quantitative cross., Data were obtained from laboratory data and medical records. The results were that the Procalcitonin has high sensitivity (95%9 and specificity (35%) for the diagnosis of Neonatal Bacterial Infection, much higher than the values of Leukocytes, C-Reactive Protein and crops
