Abstract:
Objective To explore the relationship between the clinical features and the bacteria quantity confirmed by semi-quantitative culture of sputum in hospitalized infants with wheezing diseases.Methods Nine hundred and fifty-seven patients with wheezing diseases were enrolled from Jan.1,2010 to Dec.3 1,2011,and their clinical characteristics were collected.Respiratory seeretions were collected on admission by the pathogenic examination.They were grouped into 3 groups by the bacteria quantity,and the predictive analytics statistical saftware 20.0 was used to analyze the relationship between the clinical features and the bacteria quantity confirmed by semi-quantitative culture of sputum.Results 1.A total of 372(38.87％,372/957 cases)patients had positive sputum cuhures,and there were 585 patients in 0 + group,225 patients in 1 +-2 + group,147 patients in 3 +-4 + group;the main pathogens in 1 +-2 + group were haemophilus influenza (24.89％,56/225 cases) and streptococcus pneumonia (16.00％,36/225 cases) ;the main pathogens in 3 +-4 + group were streptococcus pneumonia(54.42％,80/147 cases) and haemophilus influenza(8.84％,13/147 cases).2.Presence of siblings,cyanosis,neutrophils and C-reactive protein were higher in 3 +-4 + group when compared with those of 0 + group,shortness of breath was common in 1 +-2 + group.3.Multinomial Logistic regression analysis identified the presence of siblings,residence,passive smoking,course of disease and cyanosis were identified as risk factors in 3 +-4 + group; gender,fever peak ＞ 38.5 ℃,breast-feeding,passive smoking,age,course of disease and cyanosis were as risk factors in 1 +-2 + group.4.Severe pneumonia was common in 3 +-4 + group.Conclusions Bacterial are often detected in infants hospitaled with wheezy episodes,and bacteria quantity is correlated with clinical presentation.Severe pneumonia is common in higher bacteria quantity group.
