RESUMEN
Objective To explore the clinical significance of combined detection of C‐reactive protein (CRP)and white blood cells (WBC)in children with anemopyretic tonsillitis .Methods A total of 284 patients with anemopyretic tonsillitis were divided into ex‐cessive pattern group (131 cases) ,wind‐heat invasion group (153 cases) ,other 120 healthy children were recruited into control group .The WBC ,percentage of neutrophils (NEU % ) ,percentage of lymphocytes (LYM % ) and CRP were analyzed among the three groups .Results WBC and NEU% in excessive pattern group and wind‐heat invasion groups were higher than those in the control group (P< 0 .05) ,CRP in wind‐heat invasion group was higher than that in excessive pattern group and the control group (P< 0 .05) .CRP in the excessive pattern group were higher than that in the control group (P< 0 .05) .When CRP cut‐off value in wind‐heat invasion group was 12 .65 mg/L ,the sensitivity was 90 .6% ,specificity was 86 .3% .Conclusion The combined detection of WBC and CRP have clinical value in differential diagnosis of children with anemopyretic tonsillitis .
