In a prospective study, the diagnostic value of C3d serum levels was compared with that of neutropenia, hyperfibrinogenemia and raised CRP in generalized neonatal bacterial infections. Serum C3d was evaluated using a counter-immunoelectrophoresis technique following a step of removal of C3 split products. Twelve patients with septicemia, 8 patients with highly probable infection and 134 normal controls were included in the study. The sensitivities for neutropenia, hyperfibrinogenemia, raised CRP and positive C3d were 21, 45, 60 and 70%, respectively, with a significant difference between the sensitivities of neutropenia and positive C3d (p < 0.01). The specificities were found to be 99.2, 99.2, 100 and 97.7% respectively. Thus the C3d qualitative test appears to be as reliable as CRP in the diagnosis of neonatal bacterial infections.
在一项前瞻性研究中,比较了C3d血清水平与中性粒细胞减少、高纤维蛋白原血症及C反应蛋白升高在新生儿全身性细菌感染中的诊断价值。在去除C3裂解产物后,采用对流免疫电泳技术评估血清C3d。该研究纳入了12例败血症患者、8例高度疑似感染患者及134例正常对照。中性粒细胞减少、高纤维蛋白原血症、C反应蛋白升高及C3d阳性的敏感性分别为21%、45%、60%和70%,中性粒细胞减少与C3d阳性的敏感性之间存在显著差异(p<0.01)。特异性分别为99.2%、99.2%、100%和97.7%。因此,C3d定性检测在新生儿细菌感染诊断中似乎与C反应蛋白一样可靠。
