Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

The aim of this study is to develop a faster, safer, and more accurate method for determining if a newborn has an infection. This study involves analyzing saliva for markers of infection and inflammation known as cytokines. We will analyze infant's saliva repeatedly for inflammatory biomarkers (cytokines) within the first 36 hours of their standard of care treatment. We hypothesize that levels of these cytokines will more quickly predict which babies are truly infected and which babies are not compared to the blood tests currently being used.
