RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the clinical value of joint detection of procalcitoninl (PCT ) ,C-reactive protein (CRP) ,and myocardial enzymes in patients with neonatal hyperbilirubinemia .Methods 30 cases of each cause were included in the study ,which were neonatal hyperbilirubinemia caused by sepsis ,pneumonia ,ABO hemolytic and breast milk jaundice .20 cases of each cause were selected including neonatal hyperbilirubinemia caused by neonatal hepatitis and low birth weight infants .All the cases involved in the study were diagnosed .30 healthy full-term newborns in the same period were recruited as control group .PCT ,CRP and myocar-dial enzymes (AST ,CK ,CK-MB ,and LDH) concentration in serum were determined .Results Compared with the control group , CRP and PCT concentration increased significantly in bacterial infected group (P< 0 .05) .Myocardial enzyme concentration in-creased significantly both in infected group and non-infected group(P<0 .05) .Among myocardial enzymes ,CK-MB concentration increased significantly in bacterial infected group ,low birth weight infants group and ABO hemolytic group(P<0 .01) and increased significantly in breast milk jaundice group and hepatitis group (P<0 .05) .AST and LDH concentration increased very significantly in hepatitis group(P<0 .01) .The specificity of PCT in bacterial infected group was significantly higher than that of CRP (P<0 .05) ,while its sensitivity was significantly lower than that of CRP in pneumonia group (P<0 .01) .Conclusion Changes of PCT , CRP and myocardial enzymes concentration are related to the occurrence and development of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia ,determi-nation of these indicators can be complementary .
