Association of the early absolute CD64-expressing neutrophil count and sepsis outcome [PDF]
To evaluate the early absolute CD64/CD15/CD45 neutrophil count as a marker of prognosis of sepsis outcome the absolute CD64/CD15/CD45 count was measured by flow cytometry in 65 patients with confirmed or suspected Gram-negative sepsis and organ dysfunction. Serum interleukin(IL)-8 and interferon-gamma (IFNγ) were measured by an enzyme immunoassay.

The Absolute Neutrophil Count:Is It the Best Indicator for Occult Bacteremia in Infants? [PDF]
Occult bacteremia affects approximately 5% of febrile children ages 2 to 36 months. Many physicians empirically treat children who have a temperature higher than 39 degrees C, a white blood cell (WBC) count of more than 15.0 x 10(9)/L, and no focus of infection with antibiotics. We undertook this investigation to better define predictive indicators for
