C-反应蛋白在老年重症社区获得性肺炎中的应用

The Application of C-reactive Protein in Severe Community Acquired Pneumonia of Elderly Patients

目的探讨血清C-反应蛋白对老年社区获得性肺炎的临床应用价值。方法 108例老年社区获得性肺炎住院患者中,实验组为44例重症肺炎患者,对照组为肺炎组患者64例,分别于入院第一天和第七天行血清C-反应蛋白测定。结果肺炎组患者治疗前后的C-反应蛋白水平低于重症肺炎组。结论血清C-反应蛋白增高可作为判断老年社区获得性肺炎病情程度的一项参考指标。

Objective To assess the clinical application of C-reactive protein （CRP） in community acquired pneumonia of older patients. Methods There were 108 elderly patients with community acquired pneumonia, 44 patients with severe pneumonia were enrolled as study group, 64 patients with common pneumonia were enrolled as control group. The serum CRP of these cases were measured. Results The level of CRP in the control group was lower than the study group, the difference was significant （P〈0.05）. Conclusion The increase ofCPR can be one of important signs in the diagnosis of severe com- munity acquired pneumonia.
