The study duration was 18 months. Septic screening was done in all neonates on day 0, 1, 3, 7, and 14 days of surgery with serum procalcitonin, C-reactive protein, total leukocyte count, immature\/total neutrophil ratio, and microerythrocyte sedimentation rate. A septic screening-positive patient (three or more positive parameters out of five) was correlated with sepsis and analysis was done.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 30 neonates of abdominal surgical cases were included consequently, out of which 56.7% (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 17) were male and 43.3% (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 13) were female.
