U.S., June 24 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07663084) titled 'CBC Indices and Serum Lactate in Neonatal Sepsis' on June 17.

While a blood culture is the most accurate way to confirm an infection, the results can take 48 to 72 hours. This delay highlights the need for faster, more accessible diagnostic tools.
