Table 5. Biomarkers and hemograms of children where simultaneous cultures of virus and bacteria were carried out.
Type of infection | PCT >0.5 ng/mL | CRP >1 mg/dL | Leukocytosis | Neutrophilia | Lymphocytosis |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Bacteria (n=16) | 3 (18.7%) | 14 (87.5%) | 14 (87.5%)* | 13 (81.2%) | 2 (11.1%) |
HAdV without bacteria (n=45) | 27 (60.0%)* | 40 (88.9%) | 24 (53.3%) | 29 (64.4%) | 7 (15.9%) |
Other RVs without bacteria (n=31) | 7 (22.5%) | 19 (61.3%)* | 20 (64.5%) | 19 (61.3%) | 5 (16.7%) |
No viral infection (n=49) | 13 (26.5%) | 36 (73.5%) | 39 (79.6%) | 35 (71.4%) | 8 (16.3%) |
*statistically significant (P<0.05). PCT, procalcitonin; CRP, C-reactive protein; RVs, respiratory virus other than HAdV.
