Abstract:

Objective To establish a determination of CD64 index by flow cytometry (FCM),and to evaluate its value in the diagnosis of bacterial infection. Methods Polymorphonuclear(PMN)CD64 mean fluorescence intensities (MFI) in 42 healthy controls,41 patients with bacterial infection and 50 patients with non-bacterial infection were determined by FCM,and CD64 indices were calculated. The level of C-reactive protein (CRP),white blood cell (WBC) count and the percentage of neutrophils(Neu%) were analyzed simultaneously. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the value of CD64 index in the diagnosis of bacterial infection. Results CD64 index in bacterial infection group [3.69(2.69-5.25)] was higher than those in healthy control group [0.79(0.40-1.31),P<0.01] and non-bacterial infection group [0.52(0.40-0.93),P<0.01]. According to ROC curves,the areas under the curves in turn were CD64 index (0.964)>CRP level(0.931)> Neu% (0.815)>WBC count(0.678),and the optimal cut-off value of CD64 index was 1.84. The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity were 87.8% and 95.7%. Conclusions Compared with traditional parameters,CD64 index by FCM with high sensitivity and specificity could be used in the diagnosis of bacterial infection.
