Abstract:
Objective To investigate the risk factors and CT manifestations of primary varicella pneumonia(PVP),and to provide clinical evidence for early diagnosis of PVP.Methods A total of 99 patients with varicella were retrospectively selected,and all patients were divided into pneumonia group(53 cases)and control group(46 cases).The correlations between factors such as gender,age,febrile days before hospitalization,maximum body temperature,respiratory symptoms,white blood cell(WBC)count,absolute lymphocyte count(ALC)and PVP were analyzed.Multivariate logistic analysis was used to determine the risk factors of PVP,and the CT fea-tures of PVP patients were summarized.Results There were significant differences in age,respiratory symptoms and ALC between pneumonia group and control group(P＜0.05).Age and respiratory symptoms were independent risk factors for PVP(P＜0.05).The main features of CT were scattered small solid nodules in both lungs with halo sign,which could be combined with ground glass shadow or small solid shadow,and axillary lymph node enlargement.Conclusion Age and respiratory symptoms can be used as inde-pendent risk factors for predicting PVP in varicella patients,and combined with CT features of patients,it is of great value for the early diagnosis of PVP.
