Abstract:
Objective To study clinical and laboratory features of children with brucellosis and to provide a theoretical basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods Using the retrospective analysis method,the clinical diagnosed information of child patients with brucellosis from January 2013 to January 2016 in Heilongjiang Agricultural Reclamation Bureau General Hospital were selected to analysis the general characteristics,clinical symptoms and laboratory examination results.At the same time,follow the case control method,dadult brucellosis laboratory results were selected,and the laboratory examination results were compared between child and adult patients.Results The children of ＞ 12-15 years of age had the highest incidence in 65 cases of brucellosis,and the rate was 47.7％ (31/65).Clinical symptoms were fever and joint pain,which accounted for 83.1％ (54/65) and 84.6％ (55/65),respectively.The mean values of γ-glutamyl transpeptadase (γ-GT),α-hydroxybutyric dehydrogenase (HBDH),creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were compared between child brucellosis and adult brucellosis,and the differences were statistically significant [(30.66 ± 27.05) vs (82.80 ± 36.34) U/L,(287.40 ± 35.02) vs (180.08 ± 40.90)U/L,(20.88 ± 13.01) vs (11.70 ± 4.13)U/L,(328.69 ± 37.86) vs (217.88 ± 45.67)U/L,t =-4.243,3.396,3.756,3.135,all P ＜ 0.05].After treatment,the test results of children with aspartate transaminase (AST),alanine aminotransferase (ALT),γ-GT,total protein (TP),albumin (ALB),HBDH,CK-MB and LDH were compared with those of before the treatment,the differences were statistically significant [(56.95 ± 29.50) vs (23.00 ± 12.26) U/L,(57.60 ± 35.65) vs (23.94 ± 13.38) U/L,(30.66 ± 27.05) vs (18.45 ± 12.62) U/L,(63.77 ± 5.51) vs (67.42 ± 3.50) g/L,(39.15 ± 3.89) vs (43.06 ± 3.11) g/L,(287.40 ± 35.02) vs (139.23 ± 51.70) U/L,(20.88 ± 13.01) vs (11.61 ± 10.26) U/L,(328.69 ± 37.86) vs (187.77 ± 42.32) U/L,t =4.848,2.717,2.182,-5.442,-13.752,6.989,4.749,5.993,all P ＜ 0.05].Conclusions Liver and heart of children with brucellosis are injured.By monitoring the changes of myocardial enzymes,medicines for children might be cautiously used in clinical trial,and myocardial damages of children with brucellosis can be protected and prevented.
