Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the effect of peripheral blood CD4+ T lymphocytes and prednisone cumulative dose on severe primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS) infection in adults.

Methods

From January 2012 to December 2016, a total of 120 adults with PNS treated in Xingyuan Hospital of Yulin City. According to the infection degree 48 hours after admission, the patients were divided into mild infection group (40 cases), moderate infection group (52 cases) and severe infection group (48 cases). The distribution of infection sites and the pathogens in different groups were analyzed, and the differences of clinical characteristics of patients with PNS in different groups were compared. The risk factors of severe infection in patients with PNS were analyzed by single factor and multi-factor non-conditional Logistic regression analysis.

Results

The infection of PNS was mainly caused by lung infection (72.1%); Klebsiella pneumoniae (10.7%) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (12.1%) were main pathogenic microorganisms. Single factor, multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the cumulative dose of prednisone (OR = 1.587, 95%CI: 0.144-2.687) and CD4+ T lymphocyte count (OR = 0.904, 95%CI: 0.772-0.999) increased the risk of severe infection in patients with PNS (all P < 0.05).

Conclusons

Adults with higher cumulative dose of prednisone and lower CD4+ T lymphocytes count were more likely to develop severe PNS infection.
