Clinical characteristics of pediatric pulmonary infection caused by gram-positive cocci and Enterobacteriaceae
[Objective]To analyze the clinical characteristics of pediatric pulmonary infection caused by gram-positive cocci and Enterobacteriaceae.[Methods]The clinical data of 100 patients with pediatric pulmonary infection during January 2020 to December 2022 were selected and divided into gram-positive cocci group(n=45)and Enterobacteriaceae group(n=55)according to the results of sputum specimens.The two groups of general data,underlying disease,Glasgow coma index score,the highest body temperature and blood routine index were compared and performed logistic analysis.[Results]Among the 100 cases,there were 15 cases of Streptococcus pneumoniae,14 cases of Staphylococcus aureus,10 cases of Staphylococcus epidermidis,6 cases of Enterococci,20 cases of E.coli,17 cases of Klebsiella,9 cases of Citrobacter,7 cases of Enterobacter cloacae and 2 cases of Acinetobacter baumannii.There was no significant difference in age,sex,combined underlying disease type and coma time between the two groups(P>0.05).Glasgow coma index score and lymphocyte percentage of gram-positive cocci group were lower than those of Enterobacteriaceae group,while the highest body temperature,white blood cell count,absolute neutrophil count,and neutrophil percentage were higher than those of Enterobacteriaceae group(P<0.05).Logistic analysis showed that Glasgow coma index score and blood routine indicators were independent risk factors(P<0.05).[Conclusion]The clinical characteristics of children with gram-positive cocci and Enterobacteriaceae are mainly manifested in the differences in blood routine indicators,which can provide favorable conditions for the safe drug use of children in the case of uncertain etiology.
