ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the effect of meropenem on the treatment of children with severe infection and the effect on the level of PCT.MethodsThe clinical data of patients with infectious diseases treated in our hospital from December 2013 to February 2016 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the anti infective drugs were divided into control group and observation group, the control group was given routine antibiotic treatment, the observation group was given meropenem treatment.The treatment effect of the two groups were observed, the difference of serum PCT, cytokine level and blood gas indexes before and after treatment in the two groups were compared, correlation analysis with PCT level and serum levels of inflammatory cytokines and blood indexes of severe infection.ResultsIn the control group, 50 cases were successful, the observation group was successful in the treatment of the patients, there were no significant differences in the success rate between the two groups.Two groups of patients before treatment PCT and inflammatory cytokines level no difference, after treatment, the observation group PCT, IL-18, IL-6 and hs-CRP levels were lower than the control group;Two groups of children before treatment blood gas index no difference, after treatment, the observation group SpO2 level higher than the control group, P ETCO2 level was lower than the control group.PCT levels in children with severe infection were positively correlated with IL-18, IL-6, hs-CRP and P ETCO2 levels and negatively correlated with SpO2 levels.ConclusionMeropenem has better therapeutic effect in the treatment of children with severe infection, can significantly reduce the serum PCT level, has the value of clinical application.
