Abstract:

Objective To investigate the roles of procalcitonin (PCT),human neutrophil lipocalin (HNL)and neutrophil CD64 in the diagnosis of bacterial infection. Methods A total of 86 patients with suspected bacterial infection were enrolled. There were 44 cases of bacterial infection group,42 cases of viral infection group and 40 cases of healthy subjects(healthy control group). The levels of PCT,HNL,CD64 and white blood cell (WBC) count of bacterial infection,viral infection and healthy control groups were determined,and the diagnostic roles of PCT,HNL and CD64 were evaluated by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve. Results Compared with viral infection and healthy control groups,PCT,HNL and CD64 levels and WBC counts in bacterial infection group were increased(P<0.05). CD64 level and WBC count were increased in viral infection group compared with healthy control group(P<0.05). The sensitivities of PCT,HNL,CD64 and WBC count for the diagnosis of bacterial infection were 79.55%,84.09%,81.82% and 77.27%,respectively. The specificities were 83.33%,88.09%,85.71% and 85.71%,respectively. The areas under ROC curves (AUC) of HNL,CD64,PCT and WBC count were 0.914,0.900,0.837 and 0.748,respectively. Conclusions HNL,CD64,PCT and WBC count can be used in the diagnosis of bacterial infection. HNL plays a role for the diagnosis of bacterial infection.
