    UnlabelledConventional and fast complete blood count (CBC) and C-reactive protein (CRP) measurements were compared in 56 neonates with suspected sepsis. Mean differences between pairs (conventional minus fast) of the corresponding CBC and CRP values were significant for the six CBC parameters tested (p<0.02), but not for CRP (p=0.18).ConclusionIn neonatal sepsis, conventional and fast methods are comparable only for CRP but not for CBC variables.
