Abstract		Diagnostic accuracy of newer markers of sepsis in the newborn: procalcitonin (PCT), cytokines IL-6 and IL-8 and lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP) in comparison with routinely used C-reactive protein is described. In the treatment of neonatal sepsis the present value of "standard" methods is reviewed and the new immunological methods are mentioned, emphasizing the first promising results with the use of activated recombinant human protein C (drotrecogin alfa) in infants and children.
