Comparison of FACS analysis indicators and traditional infection indicators in early diagnosis of infection in premature infants / 国际检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To compare the clinical application of FACS analysis indicators and traditional infection indicators in early diagnosis of infection in premature infants .Methods 60 premature infants were divided into the infected group (n=29) and non-in-fected group(n=31) according to their clinical symptoms and laboratory results .BD FACSCanto Flow Cytometry was employed to detect CD11b ,CD64 and CD45RO ,BACTEC 9120 Automated Blood Culture System was used to conduct body fluids and secretions culture .Sysmex XE-5000 Automated Hematology Analyzers and i-CHROMA Reader Immunofluorescence Analyzer were adopted to conduct the complete blood count test and hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) detection ,respectively .Receiver operator characteristic(ROC) curve was used to analyze the diagnostic value of indexes above in preterm infants with infection ,and their sen-sitivity ,specificity ,positive predictive value and negative predictive value were calculated .Results On the first day after birth ,neu-trophil CD11b ,CD64 ,monocyte CD64 and hs-CRP levels of preterm infants in infection group were obviously higher than those in non-infection group(P0 .05) .ROC area under the curve(AUC)>0 .7 was found in Neutrophil CD64 ,monocyte CD64 and hs-CRP ,which had higher value in early diagnosis of infection in premature infants .The highest sensitivity ,specificity ,positive pre-dictive value and negative predictive value were 79 .31% ,96 .78% ,83 .34% and 75 .00% ,respectively .Conclusion FACS analysis indicators has better clinical value in the early diagnosis of infection in premature infants .
