Abstract:To investigate the serum levelsand clinical significance of serum macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (MIP-1α),transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in children with severe adenovirus pneumonia (SAP). Methods118 children with adenovirus pneumonia (AP) were selected and divided into SAP group (n=57) and non-SAP group (n=61). Patients with SAP were divided into effective group and ineffective group according to their prognosis. The serum levels of MIP-1α, TGF-β1 and IL-10 in each group were compared before treatment, 4 days after treatment and 7 days after treatment, and their efficacy on the diagnosis and prognosis of SAP were compared. ResultsCompared with before treatment, the levels of MIP-1α, TGF-β1 and IL-10 in the two groups decreased gradually with time after treatment, and their levels in the SAP group were higher than those in the non-SAP group before treatment, 4 days and 7 days after treatment (P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of MIP-1α, TGF-β1 and IL-10 in the effective group were lower than those in the ineffective group (P<0.05). The combined detection of MIP-1α, TGF-β1 and IL-10 had the highest efficacy in the diagnosis and prognosis of SAP (P<0.05). ConclusionMIP-1α,TGF-β1 and IL-10 are in high level in the serum of children with SAP, and the combined detection of MIP-1α, TGF-β1 and IL-10 is of great value for the diagnosis and prognosis of SAP.
