Effect of Bifidobacterium lactis on the incidence of nosocomial infections in very-low-birth-weight infants: a randomized controlled trial.

abstract：BACKGROUND:For quick detection or exclusion of neonatal early-onset bacterial infection (EOBI) or late-onset bacterial infection (LOBI), interleukin (IL)-6 is used. Its clinical use is sometimes limited due to prolonged recall times. Therefore, an IL-6 bedside test was established. OBJECTIVE:To compare the diagnostic ...
