Title

THROMBOCYTOSIS AS A POTENTIAL DIAGNOSTIC TOOL FOR SERIOUS BACTERIAL INFECTION IN FEBRILE INFANTS; SRINAGAR, INDIA

Pages

  413-420

Abstract

 IntroductionTo estimate the incidence of Reactive THROMBOCYTOSIS among febrile young INFANTS and to assess the utility of platelet count as a potential predictor and diagnostic tool of SERIOUS BACTERIAL INFECTION (SBI).Methods and MaterialsThis study was conducted a prospective non randomized study conducted between April 2011 to March 2012 at the tertiary care pediatric unit, Srinagar, India. Inclusion criteria were all INFANTS 30 to 89 days of age, admitted with rectal temperature>38°C/100.4°F without apparent focus of an infection on history and clinical examination. Exclusion criteria were INFANTS having FEVER more than 72 hours and who had received antibiotics or vaccination within 48 hours of presentation. Also the results of the sepsis evaluation on admission were recorded. SBI included all cases of occult bacteremia, urinary tract infection, bacterial meningitis, pneumonia, bacterial gastroenteritis and infections of the soft tissues and bones.ResultsOf the 149 INFANTS studied, 39 (26.2%) had SBI. Platelet count was significantly higher in INFANTS with SBI compared to those without {Platelet count ³ 4 lakhs /mm3 in SBI (84.6%) vs. Non SBI (542.4%). Mean platelet count 5.1±1.1 in SBI vs. 3.9±1.6 in non SBI which was statistically significant (P<0.05). THROMBOCYTOSIS had moderate ability in predicting SBI [Area under curve area under the curve: 0.760]. The combination of platelet count ³450,000/mm3, WBC ³15,000/mm3, C-reactive protein ³2 mg/dl and pyuria ³5 White blood cells (WBC) per High power field (HPF) resulted in misclassification of only 2 INFANTS with SBI (5.1% of SBIs).ConclusionsReactive THROMBOCYTOSIS was a frequent finding in young INFANTS with SBI. THROMBOCYTOSIS ≥450,000 cells/mm3, in combination with leukocytosis, elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) and pyuria, may help in early recognition of febrile young INFANTS at risk for SBI.
