Title: The Clinical Values of Combined Detection on Procalcitonin,High-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein and Prealbumin of Children Patients with Acute Respiratory Infection
Abstract: Objective To discuss the clinical values of combined detection on procalcitonin(PCT),high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP) and prealbumin(PA)of children patients with acute respiratory infection.Methods The levels of PCT,hs-CRP and PA of children patients with acute respiratory infection from our hospital during January 2011 to June 2012 were tested and analyzed.Result The levels of PCT and hs-CRP in bacterial infection group were(3.15±0.98)μg/L and(35.2±15.6)mg/L,which were higher than those in viral infection group and control one,but the level of PA in bacterial infection group was(102.15±41.96)mg/L,which was lower than that in viral infection group and control one,with significant difference(P0.01).The abnormal rates of PCT and hs-CRP in bacterial infection group were 84.62% and 80.00%,which were significantly higher than those in viral infection group and control one,with significant difference(P0.01).Conclusion Enhancing the detection on PCT,hs-CRP and PA of children patients with acute respiratory infection contribute to distinguish whether they were infected by bacteria or virus,it is beneficial to guide the clinical use of antibiotics.
