Early diagnostic value of combined detection of IL-6,SAA,CRP,and PCT in patients with Mycoplasma pneumoniae complicated with bacterial infection
Objective To explore the early diagnostic value of combined detection of interleukin-6(IL-6),serum amyloid A(SAA),C-reactive protein(CRP),and procalcitonin(PCT)in patients with Mycoplasma pneumoniae complicated with bacterial infection.Methods 150 cases of Mycoplasma pneumoniae with suspected bacterial infection were selected.Based on blood culture results,patients with Mycoplasma pneumoniae complicated with bacterial infection were included in the observation group(85 cases),while patients with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection were included in the control group(65 cases).The serum samples from patients on the day of blood culture were collected for future testing of levels of IL-6,SAA,CRP,and PCT.The levels of IL-6,SAA,CRP and PCT were compared between the two groups,and the diagnostic efficiency of the four indicators in the diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae with bacterial infection was analyzed,and the value of the four indicators in the combined diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae with bacterial infection was analyzed.Results Serum IL-6,SAA,CRP and PCT in the observation group were(238.57±21.57)pg/ml,(169.68±17.66)mg/L,(77.98±6.58)mg/L,and(13.58±2.04)ng/ml,which were higher than(137.25±18.07)pg/ml,(128.90±15.71)mg/L,(52.60±5.87)mg/L,and(8.24±1.87)ng/ml in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The diagnostic specificity,sensitivity,Youden's index,negative predictive value and positive predictive value of IL-6 were 92.31%,83.53%,0.7584,81.08%and 93.42%,those of SAA were 83.08%,74.12%,0.5720,71.05%and 85.14%,those of CRP were 86.15%,90.59%,0.7674,87.50%and 89.53%,those of PCT were 70.77%,71.76%,0.4253,65.71%and 76.25%.CRP had the highest Yoden's index and PCT had the lowest Yoden's index.The diagnostic specificity,sensitivity,Jordon index,negative predictive value,positive predictive value were 70.77%,71.76%,0.4253,65.71%,76.25%for series detection,and 92.31%,94.12%,0.8643,92.31%,94.12%for parallel detection.The Youden's index of parallel detection was higher than that of series detection.Conclusion Compared with patients with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection,patients with Mycoplasma pneumoniae combined with bacterial infection have an upward trend in serum IL-6,SAA,CRP,and PCT levels.The combined detection of four indicators is helpful for early diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae combined with bacterial infection,and is of significance for reduce missed diagnosis and help medical personnel develop correct treatment plans.
