Abstract:
Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of procalcitonin(PCT) ,high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein(hs‐CRP) andwhitebloodcelltestsinpatientswithbrucellosis.Methods 37blood‐culturepositivepatientsweredividedinto4groupsac‐cording to the species of bacteria infected .In addition to that ,PCT ,hs‐CRP and white blood cell were tested and the tests results were compared .Results The PCT and hs‐CRP concentrations of the 4 groups all increased and while the increasing extent of bru‐cella group were lower than the other 3 groups ,the differences were statistically significant(P<0 .05) .The counting of white blood cell(WBC) ,neutrophil(NEUT) and lymphocyte(LYMPH) were all in normal range while the monocyte(MONO) raised to 80 .0%in brucella group .WBC and NEUT apparently were higher in the other 3 groups than in brucella group ,while LYMPH and MONO were lower than brucella group ,the differences were statistically significant(P<0 .05) .Conclusion The determinations of PCT ,hs‐CRP and white blood cell may act as the indicators for early stage of brucellosis .
