Evaluation Of Some Haemato-Immunological Parameters In Patients With Pneumonia

Abstract

Background: Prior research has shown that pneumonia illness is associated with interleukin-17 (IL-17), CD 4+, and other immunological criteria. However, it is still unclear how IL-17 and CD 4+ relate to ventilator-acquired pneumonia (VAP), community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), and hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP). Through a prospective study, this research attempts to investigate the relationships between serum levels of IL-17, CD 4+, ESR, CRP, and WBCs with the severity and prognosis in hospitalised RCU patients.‎ Methods: All 57 hospitalised patients in RCU were recruited. Serum IL-17 and CD 4+ were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). ESR, CRP, and WBCs were recruited also. Results: It was noted that in all 57 patients admitted to respiratory care units in Baghdad Providence, who were included in our current research and diagnosed with pneumonia, the levels of IL-17, ESR, CRP, WBC, and neutrophil were high, while CD 4+ was low level. Conclusions: These tests can be used to diagnose patients with pneumonia because there is a close relationship between them.
