IntroductionWhile determining a diagnosis and during a disease follow-up, laboratory, or non-specific inflammatory parameters in particular, platelets reference values, nitrogen matters, and liver enzymes play a significant role because their values may indicate multiple organ failures.GoalsTo analyse laboratory parameters in patients diagnosed with the staphylococcal bacteraemia/sepsis.Patients And MethodsAnalysed patients have been treated at the Clinic for Infectious Diseases through the period often years.ResultsDifferences in average CRP values, leucocytes, neutrophils and platelets among the patients diagnosed with the sepsis and bacteraemia are not statistically relevant p > 0,05. Difference in the average sedimentation values of the erythrocytes between the patients diagnosed with the sepsis and the patients diagnosed with the bacteraemia are statistically relevant p = 0,035. Differences between the average INR values between the patients diagnosed with sepsis and the patients with bacteraemia are not statistically significant, but indicative p = 0,051. Differences in the average blood sugar values, urea, creatinine, bilirubin and ALT between the patients diagnosed with bacteraemia and sepsis are not statistically significant p > 0.05.ConclusionThe results have showed that even in the course ofa bacteraemia, there is a significant increase in the non-specific inflammatory parameters indicating the gravity ofbacteraemia as well, with a constant risk of developing sepsis and septic shock. The importance of running and following-up the laboratory parameters herewith is emphasised for the purpose of detecting sepsis in a timely manner and administering an adequate therapy.
