Presepsin level in children infected with community-acquired pneumonia
Keywords:
presepsin level, children infected, community-acquired pneumoniaAbstract
Objective: To investigate the expression of Presepsin (P-SEP) in children infected with Community-acquired pneumonia and its correlation with total white blood cell count (WBC), gender and age. The current study included sixty (60) patient suffering from acquired community pneumonia aged range between one year to larger than 6 years, gander (30) female and (30) male Children in Al Zahara Teaching Hospitals in Najaf Provenance , during November 2020 – March 2021. The (30) control Child without suffering any of symptoms or criteria of acquired community pneumonia our results show significant elevation (p<0.05) in Total Leukocytes count and presepsin in pneumonia patient group in comparison with control group and non-significant (p>0.05) different in presepsin level between female and male pneumonia child patients. The results also indicate significant elevation (p <0.05) in serum presepsin level of pneumonia child patient among the age (1-3 y) when compare with among the ages (4-6 y) and (>6y) of pneumonia child patient .And there is no significant (p>0.05) different in presepsin between the ages (4-6y) when compare with ages (>6y).
