ABSTRACT
Objective To study the relationship between mycoplasma pneumoniae(MP) infection and children asthma,and to observe the treatment effects of macrolide antibiotics (azithromycin) on mycoplasma pneumoniae infection.Methods 250 children of respiratory disease were investigated with olimpus electron gastroscope,200 children asthma;the serum specific antibodies were determined by Diagnostic Kit for measurement of antibodies to mycoplasma pneumoniae (Passive Particle Agglutination) ;and the eosinophilic grannlocytes were serologically analyzed in children with recent asthma.Random selection 42 MP infection positive to macrolides antibiotics (azithromycin) treatment.Results 44 MP infection positive,200 children asthma cases had MP infection with 21％ (42/200) MP positive,the specific antibody titers to MP showed significant difference in children with recent asthma compared with those in the contol group ( x2 =6.14,P ＜ 0.05 ),and correlated with the count of eosinophilic granulocy positively ( r =0.603,P ＜ 0.05) ;The positive rates of specific antibody,infection with MP were significantly higher than those in the control group( t =4.38,P ＜ 0.05 ).MP infection positive group with azithromycin treatment effect is significantly higher than that of cefuroxime group ( x2 =16.18,P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion MP infection is closely associated with the pathogenesis of children asthma;and early routine testing for MP antibodies.Macrolides antibiotics can eliminate MP infection,a new generation of macrolides antibiotics(azithromycin) is more advantageous to the control of acute attack of asthma.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo study the risk factors for children with incomplete Kawasaki disease(IKD) to decrease the development of coronary artery lesions (CAL).MethodsAll children diagnosed as IKD from Jan.2005 to Apr.2011 in our department were reviewed retrospectively for their clinical data,laboratory values and treatment measures.ResultsEight of the children (8/36,22.2％ ) were positive for CAL.The count of white blood cell( WBC),count of platelet(PLT),hematocrit and C reactive protein(CRP) level were ( 18.36 ± 4.63) × 109/L,(450.30 ± 155.40) × 109/L,( 25.63 ± 3.53 ),( 18.30 ± 3.80) mg/L and ( 13.48 ±3.27) × 109/L,(350.60 ± 56.80) × 109/L,( 33.78 ± 2.24 ),(9.70 ± 2.50) mg/L in the CAL group and non-CAL group respectively.And there were significant differences on the four indexes between CAL group and non-CAL group ( t =2.58,2.65,2.73,2.48,respectively,P ＜ 0.05 ).Pyretolysis time of children first undergoing globulin treatment was (2.5 ± 1.5 ) d and ( 1.5 ± 1.0 ) d in children under 1-year old and those above l-year old respectively,and the difference was significant ( t =2.35,P ＜ 0.05).ConclusionCAL should be cautiously prevented in IKD infants under l-year old with a fever lasting for over 5 days,decreased hematocrit and elevated WBC count,PLT count,Hct and CRP.Infant IKD patients are not so sensitive to intravenous gamma globulin and tend to occur CAL.They should be given an early diagnosis and timely treatment.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the clinical effects of the children with svstemic inflammatorv re- active syndrome(SIRS)receiving micro-dose heparin at early stage of the diseases.Methods The 53 cas- es diagnosed as SIRS were included in the randomized control trial.They were divided into two groups,26 cases in control group and 27 cases in therapeutic group.The children in control group received therapy for their primary diseases and other routine managements for SIRS.The children in therapeutic group received both above therapy and micro-dose heparin(5-10 U/kg,1 fime/6hours)via subcutaneous injection at earlv stages of diseases for 3 days.Results There were improvements in both control and therapeutic group, platelets count increased,C-reactive protein decreased (P＜0.01),there were significant diffemnce in platelets and C-reactive protein between two groups,the time of platelets recovery in therapeutic group [(28±9)h]Was less than that in control group[(55±14)h](P＜0.01).In therapeutic group,the dumtion of SIRS was shortened (P＜0.05),mortality and the incidence of multiple organ dysfunction svndrome (MODS)and disseminated intravascular eoagultion(DIC)were decreased significantly(P＜0.05).Con- clusion Early micro-dose heparin in SIRS can shorten its duration and decrease the mortality and the inci- dence of MODS in the children with SIRS.
