in conclusion, we showed that there are some differences in laboratory findings, according to causative microorganisms in the nosocomial sepsis of ELBW infants. Increased WBC and CRP were associated with gram negative infection, while decreased platelet and glucose level were associated with fungal infection. These data may be helpful for choosing empirical antibiotics when sepsis is suspected.
