ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of neutrophil CD64 index (nCD64) in disseminated nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infection.Methods:Thirty-six patients with NTM infection from January 2020 to June 2021 in Huashan Hospital, Fudan University were included. Patients were classified into groups of disseminated infection and focal infection according to their medical history and discharge diagnosis. The expressions of nCD64 in patients with focal infection and disseminated infection before treatment were collected and analyzed. Statistical analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney U test, and the diagnostic value of nCD64 for disseminated NTM infection was analyzed using the receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve). Results:Among the 36 patients with NTM infection, 18 cases were focal infection (due to the low white blood cell count of the patient with myelodysplastic syndrome, the detection results were biased, which were excluded from the subsequent analysis) and 18 cases were disseminated infection. The expression of nCD64 in focal infection was 0.72(0.50, 1.55), and that in disseminated infection was 13.63(6.77, 32.31). The difference was statistically significant ( U=15.50, P<0.001). Using focal infection as a control, the area under the ROC curve for the operational characteristics of the subjects was 0.949 3 for disseminated NTM infection. The diagnostic cut-off value of nCD64 was 3.06, with the sensitivity and specificity of the disseminated NTM infection were 88.89% and 100.00%, respectively. Conclusions:In patients with NTM infection before effective treatment, the diagnostic cut-off value of nCD64 of 3.06 has high sensitivity and specificity, which is useful for the aided diagnosis of disseminated NTM infection.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the level and significance of CD64 index, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and serum amyloid A (SAA) in peripheral blood of patients with severe carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infection.Methods:A total of 61 patients with severe CRE infection who were admitted to the neurosurgery department of Kashgar First People′s Hospital from January 2019 to January 2022 were selected as the CRE group, and 100 patients with severe carbapenem sensitive Enterobacteriaceae (CSE) infection were selected as the CSE group. The difference in clinical data between the two groups was compared, and the difference in clinical data between the dead and surviving patients in the CRE group was compared. The value of CD64 index, MMP-9 and SAA in differential diagnosis of CRE was analyzed. Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of prognosis in patients with CRE infection.Results:The age, hypertension, lung disease, liver and kidney disease, comorbidities≥2, antibiotic use≥2 combinations, antibiotic use time>10 days, proportion of carbapenem use, CD64 index, MMP-9, and SAA of the CRE group patients were significantly higher than those of the CSE group patients (all P<0.05). The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for CD64 index, MMP-9, and SAA differential diagnosis of CRE was 0.857, 0.701, and 0.655, respectively (all P<0.05). In the CRE group, the age , the score of Acute Physiological and Chronic Health Status Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score at admission, diabetes, liver and kidney diseases, comorbidities≥2, the proportion of carbapenems, CD64 index, MMP-9 and SAA of dead patients were significantly higher than those of survivors (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that age, APACHE Ⅱ score at admission, comorbidities≥2, CD64 index, MMP-9, and SAA were influencing factors for the prognosis of severe CRE patients (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The peripheral blood CD64 index, MMP-9, and SAA have certain application value in the diagnosis of neurological severe CRE infection, and are also influencing factors for the prognosis of CRE infected patients.
ABSTRACT
Developing universal CARs with improved flexible targeting and controllable activities is urgently needed. While several studies have suggested the potential of CD16a in tandem with monoclonal antibodies to construct universal CAR-T cells, the weak affinity between them is one of the limiting factors for efficacy. Herein, we systematically investigated the impact of Fcγ receptor (FcγR) affinity on CAR-T cells properties by constructing universal CARs using Fcγ receptors with different affinities for IgG1 antibodies, namely CD16a, CD32a, and CD64. We demonstrated that the activities of these universal CAR-T cells on tumor cells could be redirected and regulated by IgG1 antibodies. In xenografted mice, 64CAR chimeric Jurkat cells with the highest affinity showed significant antitumor effects in combination with herceptin in the HER2 low expression U251 MG model. However, in the CD20 high expression Raji model, 64CAR caused excessive activation of CAR-T cells, which resulted in cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and the decline of antitumor activity, and 32CAR with a moderate affinity brought the best efficacy. Our work extended the knowledge about FcγR-based universal CAR-T cells and suggested that only the FcγRCAR with an appropriate affinity can offer the optimal antitumor advantages of CAR-T cells.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the value of CD64 index and C-reactive protein (CRP)/albumin (Alb) ratio (CRP/Alb) in predicting infection after modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 203 breast cancer patients who underwent modified radical mastectomy from January 2018 to August 2021 in Anhui No.2 Provincial People's Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. All cases were divided into infection group (40 cases) and non-infection group (163 cases) according to whether they were infected at the 1st month after operation. On the 1st day after operation, the serum CD64 index was measured by using flow cytometry, the serum CRP and Alb levels were measured by using immunoturbidimetry, and the CRP/Alb was calculated. The values of CD64 index and CRP/Alb in the diagnosis of infection after modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer were evaluated by using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The factors influencing infection after modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer were explored by using multivariate logistic regression.Results:The levels of CD64 index, CRP, CRP/Alb in the infection group were higher than those in the non-infection group [5.7±1.1 vs. 1.5±0.3, t = 32.05, P < 0.001; (78±13) mg/L vs. (11±3) mg/L, t = 39.26, P <0.001; 3.09±0.42 vs. 0.36±0.02, t = 57.48, P < 0.001], and the level of Alb in the infection group was lower than that in the non-infection group [(25±3) g/L vs. (32±4) g/L, t = 8.37, P < 0.001]. There were statistically significant differences in the catheterization time, CD64 index and CRP/Alb between the infection group and non-infection group (all P < 0.05); multivariate logistic regression showed that catheterization time >9 d, CD64 index >42.65 and CRP/Alb >1.25 were risk influencing factors of infection after modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer (all P < 0.001). The ROC curve results showed that the area under the curve, sensitivity, and specificity of CD64 index in the diagnosis of infection after modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer were 0.804, 89.5% and 85.4%, the CRP were 0.712, 70.6% and 76.5%, the Alb were 0.766, 72.4% and 75.4%, and the CRP/Alb ratio were 0.856, 88.0% and 90.5%. Conclusions:The CD64 index and CRP/Alb have certain values in the prediction of infection after modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate serum C-reactive protein (CRP) , procalcitonin (PCT) and neutrophil CD64 in predicting early infection after internal fixation of limb fractures.Methods:A total of 2 572 patients with limb fractures undergoing internal fixation in Taishun County People’s Hospital from January 2016 to December 2022 were enrolled. Postoperative infection occurred in 121 cases (infected group) and did not occur in 2 451 cases (uninfected group). Serum levels of PCT, CRP and CD64 were tested at admission and d1, d3, d5 and d7 after operation. Repeated measurement analysis of variance was used to compare the serum levels of PCT, CRP and CD64 at different time points between two groups, the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the predictive value of each index or in combination for early infection after internal fixation of limbs fractures.Results:The early infection rate after internal fixation was 4.70% (121/2 572). The levels of PCT, CRP and CD64 in the infection group began to rise after operation and decreased on d7; there were significant differences in PCT, CRP and CD64 levels between the two groups on d3, d5 and d7 after operation (PCT: Ftime=678.607, Fintergroup=2 218.323, Finteraction=653.150; CRP: Ftime=392.724, Fintergroup=1 812.502, FInteraction =379.577; CD64: Ftime=373.686, Fintergroup=4 817.438, Finteraction=528.353, all P< 0.001) . The area under the ROC curve of combined detection of PCT, CPR, and CD64 for predicting early infection was 0.856; the sensitivity and specificity of combined detection were 69.2% and 94.7%, respectively. The combined detection of three indicators showed better prediction values than PCT, CRP and CD64 alone ( Z=6.176, 3.838 and 2.431, P<0.01 or <0.05), and also better than combined detection of PCT and CRP ( Z=2.875, P=0.019). Conclusions:The combined detection of CD64, PCT and CRP is of value in prediction of postoperative infection after internal fixation of limb fractures, which is worthy of clinical application.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the value of monocyte subsets and CD64 expression in the diagnosis and prognosis of sepsis.Methods:A prospective case-control study was designed. 30 septic patients and 30 non-septic patients who were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of the PLA Army Characteristic Medical Center from March 2021 to March 2022 were enrolled. After 1, 3, and 5 days of ICU admission, peripheral blood samples were taken from patients. Flow cytometry was used to detect the proportion of monocyte subsets and the expression level of CD64 on the surface, and the difference of expression between patients in two group was analyzed. The risk variables for sepsis were analyzed using single-factor and multi-factor Logistic regression. The diagnostic efficacy of each risk factor for sepsis was determined using the receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve).Results:One day after ICU admission, the proportions of monocytes and classic monocytes in white blood cells (WBC) of septic patients were significantly lower than those of non-septic patients [proportion of monocytes to WBC: (4.13±2.03)% vs. (6.53±3.90)%, proportion of classic monocytes to WBC: 1.97 (1.43, 2.83)% vs. 3.37 (1.71, 5.98)%, both P < 0.05]. The proportion of non-classical monocytes in monocytes was significantly higher in septic patients than that in non-septic patients [(11.42±9.19)% vs. (6.57±4.23)%, P < 0.05]. The levels of CD64 expression in monocytes, classic monocytes, intermediate monocytes and non-classic monocytes were significantly higher in sepsis patients than those in non-septic patients [mean fluorescence intensity (MFI): 13.10±6.01 vs. 9.84±2.83 for monocytes, 13.58±5.98 vs. 10.03±2.84 for classic monocytes, 13.48±6.35 vs. 10.22±2.99 for intermediate monocytes, 8.21±5.52 vs. 5.79±2.67 for non-classic monocytes, all P < 0.05]. Multivariate Logistic regression research showed that CD64 in typical monocytes [odds ratio ( OR) = 1.299, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 1.027-1.471, P = 0.025] and the proportion of non-typical monocytes in monocytes ( OR = 1.348, 95% CI was 1.034-1.758, P = 0.027) were the independent risk factors for sepsis. ROC curve showed that the area under the ROC curve (AUC) of CD64 expression of classical monocytes, the fraction of non-classical monocytes in monocytes, and procalcitonin (PCT) in the diagnosis of sepsis was 0.871. A correlation analysis revealed a negative relationship between the acute physiology and chronic health status evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) on the first, third, and fifth days following ICU admission and the expression level of CD64 in patients' classic monocytes ( r values were -0.264, -0.428 and -0.368, respectively, all P < 0.05). Conclusions:Combining the proportion of non-classical monocytes in monocytes, the level of plasma PCT, and the CD64 expression of classic monocytes in peripheral blood has good efficacy in identifying sepsis and assessing its severity.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the value of serum CD64, heparin binding protein (HBP) and procalcitonin (PCT) in early diagnosis of septic shock and its prognostic value.Methods:The clinical data of 40 children with sepsis (sepsis group) and 40 children with septic shock (septic shock group) in Children′s Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from January 2018 to November 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. PCT was detected by chemiluminescence, HBP was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and CD 64 was detected by flow cytometry. All children were followed up within 1 month after discharge, and the occurrence of poor prognosis (including multiple organ failure and death) was recorded. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to evaluate the predictive value of serum CD 64, HBP and PCT for septic shock. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors for poor prognosis in children with septic shock. Results:The serum CD 64, HBP and PCT in septic shock group were significantly higher than those in sepsis group: 0.667 ± 0.120 vs. 0.501 ± 0.115, (116.46 ± 11.41) μg/L vs. (87.34 ± 23.49) μg/L and (11.41 ± 1.25) μg/L vs. (9.29 ± 1.31) μg/L respectively, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). ROC curve analysis result showed that the area under curve (AUC) of serum CD 64, HBP and PCT for predicting septic shock were 0.837, 0.894 and 0.880 respectively, and the optimal cut-off values were 0.586, 106.2 μg/L and 11.28 μg/L respectively; the AUC of serum CD 64, HBP and PCT combined detection for predicting septic shock was 0.914, with a sensitivity of 75.7%, specificity of 96.0%, and accuracy of 71.7%. According to the optimal cut-off values of serum CD 64, HBP and PCT, 40 children with septic shock were divided into high expression group and low expression group. The prognosis was good in 25 cases and bad in 15 cases. The incidence of poor prognosis in CD 64 high expression group, HBP high expression group and PCT high expression group was significantly higher than that in corresponding CD 64 low expression group, HBP low expression group and PCT low expression group: 56.52% (13/23) vs. 2/17, 10/17 vs. 21.74% (5/23) and 11/18 vs. 18.18% (4/22), and there was statistical difference ( P<0.01 or <0.05). Multivariate Logistics regression analysis result showed that serum CD64, HBP and PCT were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in children with septic shock ( OR = 0.818, 1.204 and 3.633; 95% CI 0.674 to 0.994, 1.022 to 1.419 and 1.090 to 12.108; P = 0.043, 0.026 and 0.036). Conclusions:The serum levels of CD 64, HBP and PCT in children with septic shock are significantly increased, which play an important role in the occurrence and development of septic shock, and which have predictive value for septic shock. The combined detection of the 3 indexes could be used to evaluate the prognosis, with a higher predictive value.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of neutrophil CD64 index in sepsis patients in intensive care unit (ICU).Methods:A prospective case-control study was conducted, the patients admitted to ICU of Jiangbei People's Hospital Affiliated to Nantong University from December 2016 to June 2020 were enrolled. According to the criteria of Sepsis 3, 107 patients diagnosed with sepsis were classified as the sepsis group, 112 patients without infection were classified as control group. Peripheral venous blood samples were collected within 24 hours after ICU admission, neutrophil CD64 index, C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), white blood cell count (WBC) were detected. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of neutrophil CD64 index, CRP, PCT and WBC for sepsis.Results:The neutrophil CD64 index, CRP and PCT in sepsis group were significantly higher than those in control group [neutrophil CD64 index: 9.03±5.59 vs. 3.18±1.50, CRP (mg/L): 146.9±68.3 vs. 46.5±35.8, PCT (ng/L): 31.82±14.71 vs. 1.87±1.42, all P < 0.05]. ROC curve analysis showed that neutrophil CD64 index, CRP and PCT had certain diagnostic value for sepsis, the area under ROC curve (AUC) were 0.924, 0.915 and 0.879, respectively, the 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were 0.871-0.978, 0.855-0.975, 0.807-0.951, respectively, P values were 0.016, 0.017 and 0.026, respectively. Among the three indicators, the diagnostic value of neutrophil CD64 index was much higher. When the optimal cut-off value was 4.32, the sensitivity and specificity were 83.6% and 88.7%, respectively, which were higher than the sensitivity (75.1%, 76.3%) and specificity (87.2%, 82.5%) of CRP and PCT. Conclusion:Neutrophil CD64 index is a valuable biomarker for the diagnosis of sepsis in ICU.
ABSTRACT
@# BACKGROUND:The aim of this study is to investigate the diagnostic and prognostic value of neutrophil CD64 (nCD64) as a novel biomarker in sepsis patients. METHODS: One hundred fifty-one adult patients diagnosed with sepsis and 20 age-matched healthy controls were enrolled in the study. Patients with sepsis were further subdivided into a sepsis group and a septic shock group. nCD64 expression, serum procalcitonin (PCT) level, C-reactive protein (CRP) level, and white blood cell (WBC) count were obtained for each patient, and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores were calculated. RESULTS: nCD64 expression was higher in the sepsis group with confirmed infection than in the control group. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of nCD64 was higher than those of SOFA score, PCT, CRP and WBC for diagnosing infection. The area under the curve (AUC) of nCD64 combined with SOFA score was the highest for all parameters. The AUC of nCD64 for predicting 28-day mortality in sepsis was signifi cantly higher than those of PCT, CRP, and WBC, but slightly lower than that of SOFA score. The AUC of nCD64 or PCT combined with SOFA score was signifi cantly higher than that of any single parameter for predicting 28-day mortality. CONCLUSION: nCD64 expression and SOFA score are valuable parameters for early diagnosis of infection and prognostic evaluation of sepsis patients.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND CD64 (FcγR1) is a high-affinity receptor for monomeric IgG1 and IgG3. Circulating neutrophils express very low amounts of CD64 on their surface. OBJECTIVES Our primary aim was to investigate the utility of neutrophil CD64 surface expression as a biomarker of active pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). We hypothesised that elevated neutrophil CD64 expression in TB infection would be associated with interferon gamma (IFN-γ) as an inducer of CD64 expression. METHODS The expression level of CD64 per neutrophil (PMN CD64 index) was quantitatively measured with flow cytometry using a Leuko64 kit in samples from patients with TB and latent TB infection (LTBI) as well as healthy controls, as part of a prospective cohort study in Brazil. FINDINGS The PMN CD64 index in patients with TB was higher than that in healthy controls and LTBI. Receiver operating characteristic curve analyses determined that the PMN CD64 index could discriminate patients with TB from those with LTBI and healthy individuals. PMN CD64 index levels returned to baseline levels after treatment. CONCLUSIONS The positive regulation of CD64 expression in circulating neutrophils of patients with active TB could represent an additional biomarker for diagnosis of active TB and could be used for monitoring individuals with LTBI before progression of TB disease.

Objective To observe the levels of neutrophil CD64 expression in prostatic fluid of patients with chronic prostatitis and different degrees of infection,to evaluate the value of CD64 in diagnosis and treatment of chronic bacterial prostatitis.Methods 100 subjects were divided into two groups according to chronic prostatitis symptom index (CPSI) established by the National Institutes of Health (NIH):CPSI high score group and CPSI low group,bacterial infection group,and 30 healthy controls.CD64 expression of neutrophils in prostatic fluid was detected by flow cytometry and prostate fluid routine microscopy inspection.Results The expression of CD64 in severe group (high score) was (4857.25±278.45) molecules / cell,which was significantly higher than that in the mild group (P＜0.05).There was significant difference between the mild group and the nonbacterial infection group or the healthy control group (P＜0.01).There was no significant difference between nonbacterial infection group and healthy control group.The expression of CD64 was positively correlated with some white blood cells in the bacterial infection group,but not the whole.ROC curve was drawn according to the data of the subjects.When CD64 was 2135.2 molecules/cell,the sensitivity was 92.9％ and the specificity was 91.7％.Conclusion Quantitative detection of CD64 in prostatic fluid can be used as a sensitive index for diagnosis of chronic bacterial prostatitis and has clinical value.
ABSTRACT
Objective To examine the expression levels of procalcitonin (PCT),neutrophils apolipoprotein (human neutrophil lipocalin,HNL) and neutrophil CD64 (CD64) in the blood of patients with bacterial infection and investigate their utility in early diagnosis and treatment of bacterial infection.Methods A total of 210 patients with confirmed infection who were treated in hospital from February 2013 to May 2017 were enrolled.The patients were classified into bacterial infection group (105 cases) and viral infection group (105 cases).Additionally,a cohort of 80 healthy subjects were randomly selected from health checkup during the same period as the control group.PCT and HNL were determined on the UPT up-converting phosphor microbial immunity analyzer provided by Beijing Hotgen Biotech Company.BD FACS calibur flow cytometer was used to measure and calculate CD64 percentage.Results The levels of PCT,HNL,CD64 and WBC were compared between bacterial infection group,viral infection group and control group.The between-group difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).The CD64 and WBC levels were significantly different between viral infection group and control group (P＜0.05),but the PCT and HNL levels were not different significantly between viral infection group and control group (P＞0.05).The area under the ROC curve of PCT,namely AUC PCT,was 0.855,and AUC (HNL) was 0.930,AUC (CD64) 0.928,and AUC (WBC) 0.729.The cutoff value of PCT,HNL and CD64 for diagnosis of bacterial infections was ＞0.79 ng/mL,＞87.43 ng/mL,and ＞9.01％,respectively.Conclusions Bacterial infection is associated with elevated levels of PCT,HNL and CD64,which can be used in early diagnosis of bacterial infections.HNL may provide the highest diagnostic value.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the changes of neutrophil CD64 (nCD64) index and serum procalcitonin (PCT) in hemodialysis patients with bacterial pneumonia,and to evaluate the effect of these two indicators in the course of diagnosis and treatment.Methods Fifty-three cases of bacterial pneumonia undergoing hemodialysis were enrolled in this study from November 2012 to November 2016 (infection group).At the same time,56 patients undergoing hemodialysis without bacterial infection (noninfection group) and fifty volunteers (control group) were also enrolled.The infection pathogen distribution,changes of nCD64 index and serum PCT in three groups were analyzed.And the changes of nCD64 index and serun.PCT before and after treatment in the infection group were analyzed too.Results Totally 53 strains of pathogens in the infection group were isolated,including 36 strains of gram-positive bacteria (accounting for 67.92％) and 17 strains of gram-negative bacteria (accounting for 32.08％).The nCD64 index of infection group,non-infection group and control group were as following:4.13 ± 0.43,0.82 ± 0.08 and 0.78 ± 0.08,and the serum PCT levels of infection group,non-infection group and control group were as following:(3.64 ± 0.29),(0.45 ± 0.04) and (0.45-± 0.04) μg/L.There were significant differences (P ＜ 0.01).The nCD64 index before and after treatment of infection group were 4.13 ± 0.43 and 0.86 ± 0.09.And serum PCT level before and after treatment of infection group were (3.64 ± 0.29) and (0.74 ± 0.07) μg/L.There were significant differences (P＜0.01).Conclusions The nCD64 index and serum PCT are sensitive indicators to determine the happening of bacterial pneumonia in patients undergoing hemodialysis,and it provides critical evidence for the evaluation of treatment in patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the value of neutrophil CD64 combined with monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1),interleukin-8 (IL-8) and interferon-inducible protein-10 (IP-10) in the clinical diagnosis of neonatal sepsis.Method Cases of neonatal sepsis from March 2015 to June 2016 in the department were chosen as sepsis group.35 neonates with non-infection diseases were selected as noninfection group and 40 healthy newborn infants were assigned as control group.The level of CD64 in blood were detected by flow cytometry,while the level of MCP-1,IL-8 and IP-10 of the serum in the three groups were detected by automatic biochemical analyzer.The differences between groups were compared by single factor ANOVA.The ROC curves of sepsis diagnosed by whole blood CD64,serum MCP-1,IL-8 and IP-10 were drew.Result The level of CD64,IL-8 and IP-10 of the neonatal blood in the sepsis group were significantly higher than that in the non-infection group (P ＜ 0.05) and control group (P ＜ 0.05).There were no significant difference between the sepsis group and non-infection group in MCP-1 (P ＞ 0.05),but significantly higher than that in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).The levels of serum MCP-1 and IP-10 in the non-infection group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P ＜ 0.05),but there was no significant difference between the non-infection group and control group in CD64 and IL-8 (P ＞0.05).The optimal thresholds of blood CD64,MCP-1,IL-8 and IP-10 in the diagnosis of sepsis were 35.0 MFI,58.6 ng/L,60.3 ng/L,0.46 μg/L.The sensitivity and specificity of the diagnosis of sepsis were 92.8％ and 90.6％ in CD64,70.0％ and 42.6％ in MCP-1,78.5％ and 68.0％ in IL-8,72.8％ and 54.6％ in IP-10,97.1％ and 94.6％ when combined.Conclusion The combination test of CD64,MCP-1,IL-8 and IP-10 can improve the sensitivity and specificity of the diagnosis of sepsis.
