Abstract
Aims: This study aims to determine serum Immunoglobulin G levels; and investigate the association between serum IgG levels and treatment outcomes in pediatric sepsis
Methods: All patients aged from 2 months to 15 years who meet the criteria for diagnosis of sepsis were admitted at the Pediatric Center, Hue Central Hospital, and underwent blood IgG testing upon admission. The research steps include Clinical examination and subclinical tests for diagnosis of sepsis, quantification of serum IgG level, treatment according to protocol, and evaluation of treatment outcomes.
Results: The proportion of patients with decreased serum IgG level accounted for 22,1%, with a median of 310.0 (238.0 - 449.5) mg/dL. There is a correlation between serum IgG level and the severity of sepsis. Serum IgG level is valuable in predicting the mortality rate of pediatric patients with sepsis.
Conclusion: Serum IgG level decreases in pediatric sepsis. It is an important point to consider during treatment; in addition to treating the specific underlying cause of the infection.
