Abstract:

Objective To analyze the relationship of routine examinations and treatment with the etiological diagnosis of acute infectious diarrhea,and to provide a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of acute infectious diarrhea. Methods Totally,962 specimens of acute infectious diarrhea patients were collected,and the pathogens were identified. Blood routine examination and stool routine examination were performed. The relationship of the results of blood routine examination and stool routine examination and treatment with the etiological diagnosis was analyzed. Results A total of 295 pathogens,including 239 bacteria and 56 viruses,were determined from 962 specimens. There was statistical significance for the abnormal proportions of white blood cell (WBC) count,neutrophil percentage (NE%),abnormal NE% and lymphocyte percentage (LYM%) between patients infected with bacteria and viruses(P<0.05). The proportion of water stool was higher in patients infected with viruses than that in patients infected with bacteria (P=0.002),and the proportion of mucous stool was higher in patients infected with bacteria (P=0.049). The consistency rate was 72.2%(213/295) between empirical treatment and pathological diagnosis results. Conclusions The routine examinations could provide a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of acute infectious diarrhea,while accurate and comprehensive pathogenic determination is also needed for its precious clinical diagnosis and treatment.
