乳酸脱氢酶在儿童难治性肺炎支原体肺炎诊断和治疗中的意义

目的 探讨乳酸脱氢酶(lactic dehydrogenase,LDH)在儿童难治性肺炎支原体肺炎(refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia,RMPP)诊断和治疗中的意义.方法 对2013年6月至2016年6月南方医科大学附属深圳妇幼保健院儿科收治的肺炎支原体肺炎(Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia,MPP)患儿,均给予红霉素治疗.根据RMPP的定义,将其分为普通MPP组和RMPP组.RMPP组采用红霉素基础上添加甲泼尼龙治疗.根据疗效,将RMPP患儿分为有效组和无效组.所有患儿均检测血LDH、WBC计数、C-反应蛋白、红细胞沉降率(erythrocyte sedimentation rate,ESR)、丙氨酸氨基转移酶(ALT)、天门冬氨酸氨基转移酶(AST)及肌酸激酶(CK).分别比较RMPP组和普通MPP组、有效组和无效组之间在治疗前后上述指标有无差异.结果 共纳入253例受试者,其中普通MPP组161例,RMPP组92例.与普通MPP组相比,RMPP组患儿年龄更大,LDH、ESR、ALT、AST水平更高(P＜0.05).Logistic回归分析显示,LDH(OR=1.029,95%CI 1.020~1.037)、ESR(OR=1.063,95%CI 1.009~1.120)为RMPP的预测因素(P＜0.05).受试者工作特征曲线表明,LDH临界值为400.50U/L时,曲线下面积最大为0.959,95%CI 0.936~0.983.RMPP组添加甲泼尼龙治疗后,患儿临床症状迅速改善,有效组LDH、ESR水平显著降低(P＜0.05).结论 血清LDH可能为早期识别RMPP和判断疗效的一个重要指标.

The significance of lactate dehydrogenase in the diagnosis and treatment of children with refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia

Objective To investigate the significance of lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) in the diagnosis and treatment of children with refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia(RMPP).Methods This was a study of children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia(MPP) admitted to hospital from June 2013 to June 2016.All patients were treated with erythromycin.Based on the definition of RMPP,subjects were divided into usual MPP group and RMPP group.The children in RMPP group were treated with erythromycin combined with methylprednisolone.The indicators including LDH,WBC counts,C-reactive protein,erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR),alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate amino ransferase(AST) and creatine kinase were analyzed between RMPP group and usual MPP group.The differences of the above indicators between the effective and ineffective group before and after methylprednisolone treatment were also compared.Results In total,253 subjects were enrolled,including 161 in the usual MPP group and 92 in the RMPP group.The average age in RMPP group was older than that in the usual MPP group.The indicators(including LDH,AST,ALT,and ESR) of RMPP group were higher than those in the usual MPP group.Logistic regression showed that LDH and ESR were the significant factors in predicting RMPP.The odds ratio(OR) of LDH was 1.029 with 95%CI 1.020-1.037,and the OR of ESR was 1.063 with 95%CI 1.009-1.120.Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of LDH(400.50U/L) was the largest(0.959,95%CI 0.936-0.983).The administration of methylprednisolone to patients in the RMPP group resulted in the rapid improvement of symptoms and decrease in serum LDH and ESR levels in effective group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Serum LDH may be used as a biomarker to predict RMPP at the early stage,also may be an important marker for the evaluation of therapeutic efficacy in RMPP.
