To determine the value of Gram's stain of cell blocks of peritoneal fluid for the diagnosis of bacterial peritonitis.
The results of Gram's stain of 12 cases of culture-positive, frank bacterial peritonitis (FBP) and 11 cases of culture-positive spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) were compared with 6 cases of culture-negative frank sterile peritonitis and 21 cases of culture-negative spontaneous sterile peritonitis.
For both FBP and SBP, Gram's stain had low sensitivity (8% and 9%). Overall, the positive predictive value of Gram's stain for peritonitis was 33%. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) was just as sensitive but had a positive predictive value of 100%.
In cell block material of peritoneal fluid, Gram's stain is of little value except to further characterize organisms seen on HE.
确定腹腔积液细胞块革兰氏染色对细菌性腹膜炎诊断的价值。
将12例培养阳性的急性细菌性腹膜炎(FBP)和11例培养阳性的自发性细菌性腹膜炎(SBP)的革兰氏染色结果,与6例培养阴性的急性无菌性腹膜炎和21例培养阴性的自发性无菌性腹膜炎进行比较。
对于FBP和SBP,革兰氏染色敏感性均较低(分别为8%和9%)。总体而言,革兰氏染色对腹膜炎的阳性预测值为33%。苏木精-伊红(HE)染色敏感性与之相同,但阳性预测值为100%。
在腹腔积液细胞块材料中,革兰氏染色除了能进一步鉴定HE染色所见微生物外,价值不大。
