Abstract:
Objective To detect the levels of procalcitonin in multiple genes autoinflammatory disease (adult Still disease,systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis,crohn's Crohn's disease),and to explore the relationship between erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR),C-reactive protein (CRP),ESR/CRP and disease or complicated infection combined disease.Methods One hundred and fifty-three patients were en-rolled,88 patients with multiple genes autoinflammatory disease,including 32 cases of adult Still disease,27 cases of systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis,29 cases of Crohn's disease.In addition,30 cases of healthy controls,35 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were included into this study.Electroche-miluminescence was used to test the value of serum PCT,erythrocyte sedimentation rate was tested by blood sedimentation instrument method,the CRP level was tested by lmmunoturbidimetry,and the data was handed managed and analysised by matlab software and One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the differences of PCTs between groups.Results ① In the non-infection condition,the PCT value of the autoimmune inflammatory diseases [(0.36±0.74) μg/L,95％confidence interval (CI) (0.174 9,0.550 9) μg/L)] was signifieantly higher than that of the healthy control group [(0.06±0.06) μg/L,95％CI (0.035 1,0.081 7 μg/L)],the difference was statistically significant (F=5.03,P=0.027 4),but there was no statistically significant (F=1.03,P=0.475 5) when comparing with SLE group.② The PCT level of the non-infected inflammatory enteric arthritis [(0.20±0.32),95％CI(0.042 7,0.364 3) μg/L] was different compared with the healthy group,the difference was statistically significant (F=5.77,P=0.020 4),at the same time,the difference was not statistically significant when comparing with the SLE group (F=0.22,P=0.647 6).When the PCT value in non-infected adults Still disease [(0.60±1.02) 95％CI(0.048 4,1.153 6) μg/L] compared with the healthy group,the difference was statistically significant (F=7.22,P=0.01) but the difference was not statistically different when compared with the SLE group (F=2.65,P=0.114 3).The PCT level difference was statistically significant (F=2.23,P＜0.01)when comparing infection-free juvenile idiopathic arthritis [(1.52±2.02) μg/L,95％CI(0.054 8,4.591 9) μg/L] and the healthy group,the difference was statistically significantly different (F=8.34,P=0.004 7) when compared with the PCT of the non-infected SLE group.③ In the case of autoinflammatory diseases without infection,the 95％CI of ESR/CRP ratio was between 1.121 2 and 3.589 4.In the case of co-infection,the 95％ CI of ESR/CRP ratio was between 1.502 2 and 8.718 8,so we considered autoimmune inflammatory diseases might had a high possibility of co-infection when the ESR/CRP ratio was higher than 3.5.Conclusion ① The multiple genes autoinflammatory disease group has a higher value of PCT level than healthy controls even without infection.② The mean and 95％CI range of PCT of the inflammatory bowel disease arthritis,adult Still disease and the juvenile id-iopathic arthritis is significantly higher than the healthy controls,partially higher than SLE group.In addition,the PCT level in the juvenile idiopathic arthritis is the highest.③ In clinical,to estimate whether the multiple genes autoinflammatory disease has bacterial infection,we can't just simply rely on PCT to estimate whether the multiple genes autoinflammatory disease has bacterial infection,we may consider the ratio of the ESR/CRP,when the value is higher than 3.5,we may consider patients has strong probability with infection.
