Alternation of platelet parameter in 300 children with bronchopneumonia

OBJECTIVE To investigate the alternation and clinical significance of platelet parameter in 300 children with bronchopneumonia.METHODS Observed the alternation of 300 children patients with bronchopneumonia(severe pneumonia 130,mild pneumonia 170)platelet count(PLT),platelet hematocrit(PCT),mean platelet volume(MPV),platelet distribution width(PDW),and compared it with 80 cases in normal control group.RESULTS The platelet parameters of severe pneumonia-group and mild pneumonia-group at acute stage were significantly higher than those of control group(P﹤0.01);4 platelet parameters in severe pneumonia group were significantly higher than mild pneumonia group at acute stage(P﹤0.01);4 platelet parameter in severe pneumonia-group and mild pneumonia group at convalescence stage were lower than those at acute stage(P﹤0.01)and all indices came back to normal at convalescence stage.CONCLUSION The results of this study suggest that the 4 platelet parameters of children with bronchial pneumonia abnormally go up at acute stage the extent of rise is closely connected with the state of an illness.
