Abstract:【Objective】To investigate the expression and significance of C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) in the serum of patients with incision infection after posterior pedicle system internal fixation.【Methods】From September 2016 to April 2018, 42 patients with incision infection after posterior pedicle system internal fixation were selected as the observation group (17 cases with superficial infection and 25 cases with deep infection), and 78 patients without infection after posterior pedicle system internal fixation were selected as the control group. The serum levels of CRP, PCT and ESR were compared before and 1,3,5,7 days after operation, and the correlation between them and infection was analyzed.【Results】There was no significant difference in the levels of CRP, PCT and ESR between the two groups (P>0.05); on the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th day after operation, the levels of CRP, PCT and ESR in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the same group before surgery and those of the control group at the same time (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the levels of serum CRP, PCT and ESR between patients with Asabu infection and those with deep infection before and 1 d after operation (P>0.05). The levels of serum CRP, PCT and ESR in patients with deep infection were significantly higher than those in patients with shallow infection at 3, 5 and 7 d after operation (P<0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum CRP, PCT and ESR levels were positively correlated with leukocyte count in patients with incision infection after posterior pedicle system internal fixation. In the observation group, 67 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated from 42 infected patients, of which 44 were Gram-positive bacteria (65.67%), 19 were Gram-negative bacteria (28.36%) and 4 were fungi (5.97%).【Conclusion】The levels of CRP, PCT and ESR in patients with incision infection after posterior pedicle system internal fixation are closely related to the infection, and the main infection is Gram-positive bacteria.
