What tests should pneumonia patients do

summary

Pneumonia is a disease of respiratory tract infection, usually caused by two ways. One is direct lung infection, and the other is respiratory tract infection, which scares people into lung infection. As long as people cough more serious phenomenon, in time to the hospital for examination, through the scientific inspection program can be diagnosed with the type of disease, then, pneumonia patients need to do what examination?

What tests should pneumonia patients do

1. Blood routine examination. Including the total number and classification of white blood cells. If the total number of leukocytes is more than 10 × 109 / L and the percentage of neutrophils is more than 70%, it is suggested that it is pneumonia caused by bacteria. The elderly or young children may not increase significantly.

2. Sputum culture. Sputum samples should be collected before the application of antibiotics. The number of cells in each low power field was less than 10 > 25, or the ratio of squamous cells to leukocytes was less than 1:2.5, which could be used as "qualified" samples for inoculation and culture. If the concentration of pathogenic bacteria or conditional pathogenic bacteria isolated by sputum quantitative culture is more than 107 CFU / ml, it can be regarded as the pathogenic bacteria of pneumonia; if the concentration is less than 104 CFU / ml, it is the polluting bacteria; if the concentration is between the two, sputum culture should be repeated. The same bacteria were isolated for two times in a row, and the concentration was 105-106 Fu / ml.

3. Blood and pleural effusion culture. The culture of blood and pleural effusion is the method of etiological diagnosis of pneumonia. The same bacteria isolated from blood and sputum culture can be identified as the pathogen of pneumonia. Because the blood or pleural effusion samples are collected through the skin, it is necessary to eliminate the contamination of skin bacteria during the operation. Clear etiological diagnosis is helpful for clinical treatment, especially for hospital acquired pneumonia.

matters needing attention

Warm tips, pneumonia has great harm to the human body, early detection and prevention is an important part of the treatment of pneumonia. For patients with lung cancer, there will be not only lung inflammation, but also respiratory tract and chest pain. Therefore, when pneumonia and other symptoms are found, go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible to avoid the deterioration of the disease and even more serious consequences.
