Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of leukotriene in children with respiratory syncytial (RSV)viral bronchiolitis.Methods The blood and sputum levels of Ieukotriene were detected in 33 cases diagnosed RSV bronchiolitis and 12 cases which were diagnosed pneumonia without RSV infection.Thirty-three cases of bronchiolitis were devided into mild-moderate group(n =22)and severe group(n =11)according to the lowell score.Results The blood and sputum levels of leukotriene in mild-moderate group,severe group,and pneumonia group were(76.96 ± 28.19)pg/ml,(103.53 ± 16.85)pg/ml,(18.14.± 7.49)pg/ml;(31.83 ± 19.14)pg/ml,(67.11 ± 15.11)pg/ml,(6.81 ± 2.90)pg/ml in acute period,and(36.04 ±16.38)pg/ml,(52.27 ± 17.03)pg/m l,(18.14 ± 7.49)pg/ml of serum in recovery period.There were significant differences among three groups(F =48.09,P ＜ 0.001 ; F =15.50,P ＜ 0.001 ; F =44.43,P ＜0.001).After treatment,the blood levels of leukotriene were significantly decreased,but were still higher than that of pneumonia group(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The blood and sputum levels of leukotriene increase in children with RSV bronchiolitis,which is related with the severity of bronchiolitis.
