ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay combined with bronchoalveolar lavage fluid tuberculosis Xpert detection in smear negative pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods From August 2015 to August 2016 ,68 cases of smear negative pulmonary tuberculosis ,admitted in the hospital ,were enrolled in the study.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid tuberculosis Xpert detection were used in the study.The results of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and tuberculosi sXpert detection were compared with sputum culture results ,and their diagnostic values for smear negative pulmonary tuberculosis were analyzed.Results The clinical manifestations of pulmonary tuberculosis were mainly nocturnal sweating ,fever ,cough and expectoration.The results of X-ray and CT examinations showed that the lesions were mostly patchy or in cloudy opacity.The diagnostic accuracy of the combined ex-amination for different types of pulmonary tuberculosis was significantly higher than single detection of en-zyme-linked immunosorbent assay or tuberculosis Xpert detection ,and the difference was statistically signifi-cant (P＜ 0.05).The sensitivity of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was 88.46%,the specificity was 69.05%,and the accuracy was 76.47%;the sensitivity of tuberculosis Xpert detection was 80.77%,the speci-ficity was 52.38%,and the accuracy was 63.23%;the sensitivity of the combined detection was 92.30%,the specificity was 78.57%,and the accuracy was 83.82%;the sensitivity ,the specificity and the accuracy of the combined detection for diagnosis of smear negative pulmonary tuberculosis were significantly increased ,and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).Conclusion The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay combined with bronchoalveolar lavage fluid tuberculosis Xpert detection has important value in the diagnosis of smear negative pulmonary tuberculosis.It is a simple ,rapid and effective method of examination.
ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the treatment efficacy of washing pulmonary alveoli with the bronchoscopy in treatment of stroke with severe pneumonia in elderly patients. Methods 168 patients were collected in the study, they were divided into treatment group with bronchoscopy (110 cases) and treatment group with conventional method (58cases) . patients in the treatment group with bronchoscopy were given conventional therapy and suctioning sputum with suction tube, at the same time, the suctioning sputum and diluted with the appropriate antibiotic-sensitive local bronchoalveolar lavage were applied 1-2 times per week. Results PaO2 was higher after bronchoscopic therapy. In addition,PaCO2 ( <0.05), respiratory rate (RR) and heart rate (HR) was lower after treatment (<0.05) . Compared with treatment group with conventional method,PaO2 was improved,the RR and HR was lower in the treatment group with bronchoscopy ( <0.05) . Furthermore, the absorptive time of inflammation by Chest film and the death rate was reduced ( <0.05) . Conclusion For elderly patients with stroke with severe pneumonia,washing pulmonary alveoli with the bronchoscopy may possess positive roles to control lung infection and to improve respiratory function in the basis of conventional therapy and suctioning sputum with suction tube.
