Abstract:
Objective To investigate the differential diagnostic value of serum lipopolysaccharide binding protein(LBP)and serum CXC chemokine ligand-10(CXCL-10)in children with acute upper respiratory tract bacterial infection and its influencing factors.Methods A total of 90 children with acute upper respiratory tract infection admitted to the hospital from July 2021 to June 2022 were enrolled in the study as the study group,and 40 healthy children who underwent physical examination in the hospital during the same period were enrolled as the healthy group.According to the results of sputum bacterial culture,the study group was divided into bacterial infection group(51 cases)and non-bacterial infection group(39 cases).The serum levels of LBP and CXCL-10 were detected by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Receiver operating charac-teristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the value of serum LBP and CXCL-10 in the differential diagnosis of acute upper respiratory tract bacterial infection in children.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to ana-lyze the influencing factors of acute upper respiratory tract bacterial infection in children.Results The serum levels of LBP and CXCL-10 in the study group were higher than those in the healthy group(P＜0.05).The se-rum levels of LBP and CXCL-10 in the bacterial infection group were higher than those in the non-bacterial in-fection group(P＜0.05).The area under curves(AUCs)of serum LBP and CXCL-10 alone and in combina-tion for the diagnosis of acute upper respiratory tract bacterial infection in children were 0.779(95％CI:0.724-0.822),0.843(95％CI:0.796-0.898),0.906(95％CI:0.852-0.959),respectively.Compared with the non-bacterial infection group,the bacterial infection group had significantly higher proportions of family members with smoking,iron deficiency,and calcium deficiency,annual average times of antibacterial drug use,and serum LBP and CXCL-10 levels(P＜0.05).Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that the av-erage annual use of antibiotics ≥2 times(OR=2.305,95％CI:1.483-3.582),LBP≥104.26 ng/mL(OR=2.573,95％CI:1.446-4.578)and CXCL-10≥112.98 pg/mL(OR=1.208,95％CI:0.110-1.314)were the influencing factors of acute upper respiratory tract bacterial infection in children(P＜0.05).Conclusion The elevated serum LBP and CXCL-10 levels are closely related to acute upper respiratory tract bacterial infection in children,which can be used as indicators for the differential diagnosis of acute upper respiratory tract bacte-rial infection,and the combination of the two has higher diagnostic efficiency.
