Routine blood parameters as auxiliary diagnostic tools for infection in children.

Article Synopsis
- There has been an increasing annual incidence of infection in children, highlighting the need for timely and accurate diagnosis to prevent unnecessary antibiotic use and reduce virus transmission.
- This study involved 770 pediatric patients with various respiratory infections and aimed to identify changes in blood parameters that could serve as useful diagnostic indicators for distinguishing between infections.
- Key findings indicate that specific blood parameters, particularly Mono% and Lymp%, are significant independent risk factors for diagnosing different types of infections, with their respective optimal cutoff values providing good accuracy in differentiation.
Unlabelled: The number of pediatric respiratory tract infection cases in China has significantly increased this year, and is one of the main pathogens. This study aimed to investigate the epidemiological characteristics of in children in the Anhui region and to provide evidence for the prevention and control strategies of in children in this region. A total of 66,488 pediatric patients with respiratory tract infection were enrolled from January 2015 to November 2023 in this study.

- * Both phenotypic testing and PCR confirmed that all strains produced carbapenemases, specifically the bla(KPC) gene, with a 100% positivity rate.
- * The outbreak was linked to the bla(KPC-2) subtype, indicating it as a major factor in the resistance to carbapenem antibiotics within that hospital.

Objective: To investigate the 16S rRNA methylase genes and Aminoglycoside modifying enzymes (AMEs) genes in Enterobacter cloacae isolated from the People's Liberation Army 98th Hospital, Huzhou district, Zhejiang province, China.
Methods: 40 strains of Enterobacter cloacae were isolated from the inpatients between September, 2003 and November, 2004. 5 kinds of 16S rRNA methylase gene (including armA, rmtA, rmtB, rmtC and rmtD) and 9 kinds of AMEs gene [including aac (3)-I, aac(3)-II, aac(3)-III, aac(3)-IV, aac(6')-Ib, aac(6')-II, ant(3")-I, ant(2")-I and aph(3')-VI] were analyzed by PCR and verificated by DNA sequencing.
