General objective: To determine the usefulness of the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio for diagnosing probable early neonatal sepsis in neonates. Material and method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in which data from neonates were collected using clinical records from the Cayetano Heredia - Piura Hospital. A group diagnosed with probable early neonatal sepsis was compared to a control group. Results: Of the 145 newborns used, 74 were cases and 71 controls. When the bivariate analysis was performed between the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and probable early neonatal sepsis, the mean was higher in the case group (3.18) than in the controls (1.81) p=0000. When the bivariate analysis between PCR and probable early neonatal sepsis was performed, the mean in the cases was higher (0.79 vs 0.09) p=0.003. When multivariate analysis was performed, a high neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (>3 pts) increased the risk of a neonate to have probable early onset neonatal sepsis by 7.8 times (OR 7.8, p=0.000) and with respect to PCR, the risk of early neonatal sepsis increases with each 2.9mg/dl increase in PCR (p=0.026). Likewise, it was obtained that for each unit (0.9) that decreases the APGAR, the risk increases (p=0.000). Finally, both a higher INL of 2.7 and 3 points are significantly associated with neonatal sepsis. Conclusion: The calculated neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio, which is greater than 3 in a newborn, orients us one to a possibility of 7.8 times more that there is an infection (p=0,000).
