Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic value of chronic heart failure with pulmonary infection early procalcitonin ( procalci-tonin, PCT) .Methods:40 cases of patients with chronic heart failure, according to the clinical pulmonary infection were divided into groups and non-infected groups.All patients admitted to hospital at the time, respectively, after admission blood test PCT, C-reactive protein (C reaction protein, CRP) and leukocyte (white blood cell, WBC) count levels, while sputum culture, chest X -ray, etc. checks.Results:PCT lung infection in patients with positive sputum culture in particular increased significantly, concentrations higher than 0.5 ng /ml, the sensitivity of the diagnosis of chronic heart failure with pulmonary infection was 97% higher than the CRP and WBC.Conclusion:PCT as a judge of chronic heart failure with pulmonary infection early indicator, and may reflect the severity of dis-ease.%目的:探讨降钙素原( procalcitonin,PCT)对慢性心力衰竭合并肺部感染的早期诊断价值。方法:40例慢性心力衰竭患者,根据临床表现分为合并肺部感染组和非感染组。所有患者入院当时抽血检测PCT、C反应蛋白( C reaction protein,CRP)和白细胞( white blood cell,WBC)计数水平,同时行痰培养、胸片等检查。结果:PCT在肺部感染组尤其痰培养阳性患者升高明显,浓度高于0.5 ng/ml,诊断慢性心功能不全合并肺部感染的敏感性为97%,均高于CRP和WBC。结论:PCT可以作为判断慢性心功能不全合并肺部感染的的早期指标,而且可以反映病情程度。
