Pathogen distribution and predictive value of serum sTREM-1 and HBD-2 levels in patients with bronchial asthma complicated with pulmonary infection
162例BA患者中35.19%患者发生肺部感染,共分离出98株病原菌,其中62株革兰阴性菌、33株革兰阳性菌、3株真菌;感染组急性生理与慢性健康状况Ⅱ(acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ,APACHEⅡ)评分、长期使用糖皮质激素患者占比、C反应蛋白(C-reactive protein,CRP)、机械通气患者占比、sTREM-1、降钙素原(procalcitonin,PCT)、HBD-2均高于非感染组(
To observe the distribution of pathogenic bacteria in patients with bronchial asthma(BA) complicated with pulmonary infection, and to further explore the predictive value of serum soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cell-1 (sTREM-1) and human beta defensin-2(HBD-2) levels.
Methods
2
A total of 162 patients with BA admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University from April 2023 to April 2025 were enrolled as research subjects. Sputum specimens were collected for pathogenic bacterial culture, and the incidence of pulmonary infection was summarized. All patients were divided into infection group and non-infection group according to the complication of pulmonary infection. The general data and serum levels of sTREM-1 and HBD-2 were compared between the two groups. The influencing factors and predictive efficiency for BA complicated with pulmonary infection were analyzed.
Results
2
Among the 162 patients with BA,35.19% developed pulmonary infections,with a total of 98 strains of pathogenic bacteria isolated,including 62 strains of Gram-negative bacteria,33 strains of Gram-positive bacteria,and 3 strains of fungi. The Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ(APACHEⅡ) score,the proportion of patients with long-term glucocorticoid use,the proportion of patients requiring mechanical ventilation,C-reactive protein(CRP) level,sTREM-1 level,procalcitonin level,and HBD-2 level were all significantly higher in the infection group than in the non-infection group(
P
<
0.05). APACHEⅡ score,mechanical ventilation,CRP,sTREM-1,and HBD-2 were influencing factors for BA complicated with pulmonary infection(
P
<
0.05). Using the traditional indicators(APACHEⅡ score,mechanical ventilation,and CRP) combined with the novel indicators(serum sTREM-1 and HBD-2 levels) to predict the coexistence of BA and pulmonary infection,the area under the curve was 0.937,demonstrating excellent performance. The clinical decision curve and calibration curve showed that the combined prediction of novel predictive indicators and traditional predictive indicators presented good applicability and discrimination.
Conclusion
2
Gram-negative bacteria are the predominant pathogens in patients with BA complicated by pulmonary infection. Serum sTREM-1 and HBD-2 have certain predictive values for pulmonary infection in BA patients.
