Just a question about the labs everyone does for a septic workup on a baby. Is anyone doing CRP's routinely as part of the workup? We just had a physician order one and it came back positive with a level of 129 (normal is less than 6) and she chose not to treat the baby. There was also a history of GBS and possible prolonged ROM (pt reported leaking for days and physician said "not rupt" at office without over doing a fern test or nitrazine....then no fluid at delivery). Anyway, our physician said since baby looked good and CBC was normal, she wasn't going to believe the CRP!?!?! Then why the heck are they ordering tests if they are going to ignore the results. I think we are asking for a lawsuit if we get abnormal labs and choose to ignore them because "they are inaccurate!" I keep waiting for that baby to be readmitted to Peds. Any comments on what you guys do?? thanks
