Abstract：Objective To investigate the effect of procalcitonin ( PCT) and endotoxin ( ET) in abdominal trauma pa-tients with pulmonary infection .Methods From 2005 January to 2012 May, 140 patients of pulmonary infection after abdomi-nal injury operation were enrolled , and according to the pathogenic species of pulmonary infection , they were divided into bac-terial infection group (44 cases) and non-bacterial infection group (96 cases), serum PCT and ET levels were detected in the 2 groups of patient .PCT<0.5 ng/ml was defined as negative ,PCT≥0.5 ng/ml was defined as positive;ET<0.035 EU/ml was defined as negative , ET≥0.035 EU/ml was defined as positive .Calculated the sensitivity and specificity of the two groups.Results Bacterial group's PCT positive rate of was 90.91%(40/44), non-bacterial group's positive rate was 5.21%(5/96).Bacteria group's ET positive rate was 68.18%(30/44), non-bacterial group's positive rate was 34.38%(33/96). According to the calculation, the PCT detection sensitivity was 90.91%(40/44), the specificity was 94.79%(91/96);ET detection sensitivity was 68.18%(30/44), the specificity was 65.62%(63/96).The differences between the 2 groups were statistically significant ( P <0.05).Conclusion It demonstrated that the detection of procalcitonin and endotoxin has clini-cal significance in the diagnosis of pulmonary infection in patients after abdominal trauma .
