Background: Neonatal sepsis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality among newborns. Its diagnosis depends mainly on blood culture that takes at least 48 hours to give results. Therefore, searching for biomarkers for early diagnosis is of value. Aim of the work: Detection of presepsin level, sensitivity, specificity, and its diagnostic value in neonatal sepsis by comparing it to C-Reactive Protein relation to Hematological Scoring System of sepsis (HSS). Methods: This case-control study has been conducted on 89 recruited from the neonatal intensive care unit, NICU of children’s Hospital and NICU of Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Cairo University. 89 neonates were divided into two groups; the case group: 45 neonates (23 full-term and 22 preterms) clinically and laboratory proved to have sepsis and control group: 44 neonates (22 full-term and 22 preterms) without sepsis clinically and laboratory. Serum presepsin was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, CRP was measured bya semi-quantitative slide agglutination test
