Introduction: Early-onset neonatal infection (EONI) poses significant risks to neonatal health, necessitating reliable diagnostic markers for early detection. This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic validity of procalcitonin (PCT) concentration in umbilical cord blood as a biomarker for EONI.
Methods: This prospective study was conducted at Ho Chi Minh University Medical Center from April 2022 to September 2022.
Background: Rubella virus (RV) infection during the first trimester of pregnancy often leads to severe birth defects known as congenital rubella syndrome (CRS).
