Changes of Neutrophil CD64 in Patients with Hematological Mali-gnancies Combined with Bacterial Infections

Abstract

To explore the changes of CD64 on surface of neutrophils in patients with hematological malignancies combined with bacterial infections. Ninety-seven patients with hematological tumor admitted in our hospital from August 2014 to February 2016 were selected and divided into 2 groups: infection group(50 cases) and noninfection group(47 cases) according to their symptoms, physical sings and blood culture results for microbiologic detection. The CD46 index on surface of neutrophils, serum C- reactive protein (CRP), neutrophil count (NC) and procalcitonin (PCT) level were detected by flow cytometry. After treatment of infection patients, the CD46 index, CRP, PCT and NC were detected again. Before antibacterial treatment of patients, the CD64 index in infection group was significantly higher than that in noninfection group, the CRP, PCT and NC levels in infection group also were higher than those in noninfection group; after antibacterial treatment, the CD64 index, CRP, PCT and NC levels in infection group decresed. The CD64 index in hematologic malignancy patients complicated with bacterial infections significantly increased, after antibacterial treatment these indexes decreases, confirming the value of CD64 in the diagnosis of bacterial infections for patients with hematologic malignancies.
