Correlations of serum levels of Angiopoietin-1 and Angiopoietin-2 with serum levels of C-reactive protein in newborns with blood culture negative or positive early onset sepsis (EOS).

Correlations of CRP with (A) Angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1); (B) Angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2). Data represent levels of Ang-1, Ang-2, and CRP in serum sampled at t = 48 to 72 h from newborns (in whom data on levels was universally available) with blood culture negative (n = 42) and positive (n = 2) EOS. Spearman rho was used to assess correlations. Correlation (rho) is given when significant. CRP indicates C-reactive protein.
