Application Value of Serum Procalcitonin in Patients with Viral Infection, Bacterial Infection and Severe Bacterial Infection / 现代生物医学进展

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the application value of serum procalcitonin in patients with viral infection,bacterial infection and severe bacterial infection.Methods:Selected60 cases of patients with infection who were treated in our hospital from June 2014toDecember 2016,divided into three groupsaccording to the severity of the infection,viral infection (group A) 15 cases,general bacterial infection (group B) 22 cases,and severe bacterial infection (group C) 23 cases.Three groups of patients were treated with symptomatic treatment,and after admission,the serum procalciton in levels were detected in 1,3,5,7 d,and compared with the serum procalcitonin levels before and after treatment in the three groups.Results:The serum procalcitonin ≥ 0.5 μg/L number of B group and C group had no significant difference (P＞0.05),the serum procalcitonin ≥ 0.5 μg/L number of A group was significantly lower than that of B group and C group (P＜0.05);the survival rate of severe bacterial infection patients whose serum procalcitonin was higher than than 0.5 μg/L was significantly higher than those who with serum procalcitonin lower than 0.5 μg/L (P＜0.05).Conclusion:Serumprocalcitonin level had a good application value in the clinical diagnosis prognostic prediction of patients with severe infection.
