Abstract:

【Abstract】 Objective  To investigate the clinical significance by determining the biochemical indicators on urine and blood for early diagnosis of imported malarial patients. Methods  The parameters of urine and blood biochemistry were retrospectively analyzed in 55 clinically confirmed patients with imported malaria in Beijing area with multiple Logistic regression by using software SPSS 18.0, and the results were compared with health controls. Results The biochemical parameters, including decreased blood platelet(OR=0.980, P=0.003), elevated glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase(OR=0.969, P=0.013) and blood urea nitrogen(OR=1.907, P=0.013), were statistically significant in early stage of infection in imported malarial patients. Conclusion  Biochemical parameters changed significantly in the early stage of infection in patients of imported malaria, suggesting that determination of these indicators can lead to early diagnosis and treatment of this disease.
