The role of eosinopenia in the diagnosis of bacterial infection in children
Öz
Material and methods: Patients aged 0-14 years, who applied to İzmir Tepecik Training and Research Hospital Pediatrics Polyclinics and Pediatric Emergency Service between 01.01.2008 and 31.12.2008, whose hemogram and C-reactive protein were studied within the first 24 hours of admission were included in this study. The cases were screened according to the International Classification of diseases (ICD-10) diagnostic codes.
Results: Totally 1857 patients were included in the study. The patients were evaluated in 3 groups; 519 cases (28%) with bacterial infection,356 cases (19.2%) with viral infection, and 972 cases (52.6%) in the control groups. The mean absolute eosinophil count in the bacterial infection group was 103.7±76.9/mm³, while it was 192.8±129.3/mm³, in the viral infection group, and this difference was statistically significant (p<0.001). It was determined that the bacterial infection group had the highest C-reactive protein value, the lowest absolute eosinophil count, and the lowest absolute eosinophil count /white blood cell ratio, and this was statistically significant (p<0.001). The parameter with the highest sensitivity was absolute eosinophil count/white blood cell with 73.7%, and highest specificity was absolute eosinophil count with 82.4%.
Conclusion: Absolute eosinophil count and absolute eosinophil count / white blood cell ratio as specific and sensitive markers in the diagnosis of bacterial infection in children, can be promising diagnostic parameters by providing ease of use in daily practice.
