Determination of intra-erythrocytic left neighbor in pediatric infectious diseases and its clinical significance

Abstract

In order to understand the zinc protoporphyrin (ZPP) value in red blood cells and its clinical significance in children with infectious diseases. Methods: ZPP, hemoglobin (Hb), red blood cell count (RBC) and average red blood cell volume (RBC) were measured in 61 cases of children with infectious diseases. MCV) was measured, using healthy children as controls. Results: The ZPP value of children in the infection group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P＜0.05), the Hb and MCV values were significantly lower than that of the control group (P＜0.05), and there was no significant difference in RBC values. (P<0.05). There is no statistical difference in ZPP, Hb, RBC, and MCV values between different genders (P<0.05). ZPP values in children with pneumonia, tuberculosis, and enteritis are higher than those in children with upper respiratory tract infection and skin infection, and in children with sepsis ZPP has the highest value, and Hb, RBC, and MCV values are lower, but there is no statistical difference (P<0.05). Conclusion: There is iron metabolism disorder in infectious diseases in children. When ZPP is used to screen for iron deficiency, the interference of infectious factors should be avoided ,ZPP can also be used as an observation indicator of infection and infection severity in children.
