Clinical and laboratory parameters were recorded before and after treatment.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Results\u2003Following pentoxifylline therapy, the immature-to-total neutrophil ratio and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were significantly decreased, while the blood pH and base excess were significantly increased (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). The axillary temperature, noninvasive blood pressure, hemoglobin, leukocyte, and thrombocyte values did not significantly differ after treatment (p\u2009&gt;\u20090.05). Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) (32%), Streptococcus hominis (7.3%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (5.3%), and Candida parapsilosis (3.1%) were identified in the blood cultures. There were no short-term morbidities (intraventricular hemorrhages, necrotizing enterocolitis, periventricular leukomalacia, and patent ductus arteriosus), no adverse effects, and no mortalities during or after the pentoxifylline therapy in the preterm neonate participants.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Conclusion\u2003The CRP levels and heart rate both decreased, while the pH and base excess parameters of the blood gas analysis changed positively after pentoxifylline treatment in VLBW preterm neonates with nosocomial sepsis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0037-1598596","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,14]],"date-time":"2017-02-14T18:52:32Z","timestamp":1487098352000},"page":"795-800","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Pentoxifylline Treatment of Very Low Birth Weight Neonates with Nosocomial Sepsis"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"\u015eahin","family":"Hamil\u00e7\u0131kan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Bagc\u0131lar Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Emrah","family":"Can","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Bagc\u0131lar Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"\u00d6vg\u00fc","family":"B\u00fcke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Bagc\u0131lar Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Meltem","family":"Erol","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Bagc\u0131lar Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"\u00d6zlem","family":"Gayret","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Bagc\u0131lar Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,14]]},"container-title":["American Journal of Perinatology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/s-0037-1598596.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,6]],"date-time":"2019-05-06T14:55:38Z","timestamp":1557154538000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/s-0037-1598596"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,14]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"08","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,12]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2017,7]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/s-0037-1598596","relation":{},"ISSN":["0735-1631","1098-8785"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0735-1631","type":"print"},{"value":"1098-8785","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,14]]}}}
