In the present study, we observed differences in the clinical and haematological parameters in patients of MRSA and non MRSA acute osteoarticular infection.
For the patients of acute haematogenous osteomyelitis/septic arthritis, clinical features, haematological parameters and blood & aspirate cultures were recorded.
Of 81 patients enrolled in the study, 61 were culture positive (22% MRSA). Statistically significant difference was found only in CRP (P < 0.001). ROC curve analysis shows that CRP levels of >13.9 mg/L, MRSA bone and joint infection could be predicted with 92.9% sensitivity and 79.1% specificity (AUC = 89.1).
Estimation of serum CRP levels at the time of presentation can aid in distinguishing MRSA osteomyelitis from non MRSA one.
在本研究中,我们观察了耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)和非MRSA急性骨关节炎感染患者的临床和血液学参数差异。
对于急性血源性骨髓炎/脓毒性关节炎患者,记录其临床特征、血液学参数以及血液和抽吸物培养结果。
在纳入研究的81例患者中,61例培养呈阳性(22%为MRSA)。仅在C反应蛋白(CRP)方面发现有统计学显著差异(P < 0.001)。ROC曲线分析表明,CRP水平>13.9 mg/L时,预测MRSA骨和关节感染的敏感性为92.9%,特异性为79.1%(曲线下面积[AUC]=89.1)。
就诊时测定血清CRP水平有助于区分MRSA骨髓炎和非MRSA骨髓炎。
