Title: Application of C Reaction Protein and Prealbumin in Children with Acute Respiratory Tract Infection
Abstract: Objcctives:To evaluate the application of C reaction protein(CRP) and prealbumin (PA) in distinguish the pathogen in children with acute respiratory tract infection. Methods: We detected the blood routine and serum CRP and PA in 40 children with acute respiratory tract infection and 60 healthy children, respectively. Results:(1)Compare the group of bacteria infection (Group A) with the control group(Group C), CRP increased clearly and PA decreased, both of the differences are significant.(P0 001);(2)comparison with the virus infection group (Group B)and Group C, CRP and PA are no clear differences. Conclusions:The serum CRP and PA changed in children with acute respiratory tract infection, which may be a indicator in differentiate the pathogen. Moreover, clinical CRP measurement is rapid, simple and stable, So we recommend it.
