Title: Changes and clinical values of serum C-reactive protein level in patients with acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning and acute CO poisoning
Abstract: ObjectiveTo investigate the changes and clinical values of serum C-reactive protein(CRP) level in acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning(AOPP) patients and acute CO poisoning(ACOP) patients.Methods 50 patients with AOPP,45 patients with ACOP were divided into a mild poisoning group,a moderate poisoning group and a severe poisoning group,respectively,according to the degree of poisoning when the patients came to hospital,each of the control group was also set up(n=45,respectively).Serum CRP was detected on day 1,day3 and day7 while the patients were in hospital.Results The CRP levels in moderate and severe poisoning groups were higher than the healthy contrast group on day1 and day3,there was statistical significance of difference(P0.01);and there was no statistical significance of difference between mild poisoning group and healthy group(P0.05).The CRP levels among AOPP patients on day7 and ACOP patients on day5,there was no statistical significance of difference between the moderate poisoning groups and healthy groups(P0.05).On day7(AOPP patients) and day 5(ACOP patients),CRP levels in severe poisoning group were higher than the healthy contrast group(P0.01).For AOPP patients,CRP levels in moderate poisoning group were compared with those in severe poisoning group on day1,day 3 and day7 correspondingly;and there was statistical significance of difference(P0.01).For ACOP patients,CRP levels in moderate poisoning group were compared with those in severe poisoning group on day1,day3 and day5 correspondingly;and there was statistical significance of difference(P0.01).Conclusion Serum CRP level in patients with AOPP and ACOP are coincident with poisoning degrees,which can be an indicative index for diagnosing and treating patients with acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning and acute CO poisoning.
