Serum Hypersensitive C-reactive Protein (hs-CRP) in Pediatric Infection in Clinical Application / 昆明医科大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective Explore the diagnostic effect of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in pediatric infectious diseases. Methods The BNProSpec automatic protein analyzer was used to detect the serum hs-CRP levels of children including 246 cases of bacterial infection, 132 cases of virus infection and 72 cases of healthy children (control group) . Results The serum hs-CRP levels were 57.2±19.5 mg/L,4.6±3.2 mg/L and 1.7 ±0.4mg/L in children of the bacterial infection, virus infection and normal control group, respectively. Conclusion The serum levels of hs-CRP in children with bacterial infection were significantly higher than those in other two groups,and the difference was significant ( <0.05) . The results suggested that serum hs-CRP testing has great application value in the diagnosis of pediatric infectious diseases, treatment and prognosis.
