Abstract:
Objective To investigate the level of the peripheral blood percentage of neutrophils(Neu% ) and C reactive protein (CRP) in the early diagnosis of burn infection .Methods A total of 84 burn infection patients were collected from August 2013 to May 2014 ,28 cases with minor burns ,28 cases with moderate burns and 28 cases with severe burns .According to test results of wound infection ,they were divided into infected group with 64 cases and control group with 20 patients .Two milliliter peripheral blood samples were collected and used to measure the WBC ,CRP ,and Neu% .Results In the 84 patients ,66 cases with elevated CRP(78 .6% ) ,43 cases with elevated WBC(51 .2% ) and 57 cases with Neu% (67 .9% ) .The WBC levels in the infected group and control group had no significant different(P>0 .05) ,but there were significant differences on the levels of Neu% and CRP(P<0 .05) .WBC of mild ,moderate and severe burn patients had no significant differences(P>0 .05) ,but there were significant differ-ences on the levels of Neu% and CRP(P<0 .05) .Conclusion Neu% ,CRP might reflect the presence or absence of infection in burn patients ,and also increased with the burn degree .The combined detection of CRP and Neu% is more sensitive than the com-bined detection of CRP and WBC .
