Abstract:
Objective To investigate the significance of serum procalcitonin(PCT)levels in children with respiratory syncytial virus(RSV)pneumonia and sepsis.Methods 43 cases of children with RSV pneumonia were divided into two groups,including 28 cases of non -sepsis and 15 cases of sepsis.30 cases of healthy children were choosed as a control group in the same period.The serum PCT levels of three groups were compared.The 29 cases of RSV pneumonia with other organ damage except lung were divided into non -severe group and severe group.The differences of serum PCT levels between the two groups were compared.Results The non -sepsis group and sepsis group serum PCT levels were (0.882 ±0.184)μg/L and (1.001 ±0.268)μg/L respectively,which were higher than the control group[(0.365 ±0.085)μg/L,(t =2.607,2.854,all P <0.05)].The serum PCT levels of the non -sepsis group and septic group were significant different(t =0.372,P >0.05);The serum PCT level of the severe group was (1.181 ±0.281)μg/L,which was higher than the non -severe group[(0.448 ±0.140)μg/L],the differ-ence was statistically significant(t =2.473,P <0.05).Conclusion The serum PCT of RSV pneumonia children was increased,the increased PCT can be an observed indicators of severe infection and multiple organ dysfunction.
