Infectious complications cause significant mortality in children with oncological diseases during chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. The absence of sensitive and specific signs and symptoms of infectious conditions as well as its microbiological identification, leads to inappropriate antibiotic exposure. The use of laboratory biomarkers (procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP)) may be helpful for differential diagnostics of inflammatory conditions and for rational antimicrobial therapy.</p><p><bold>Objective</bold>: to assess the current value of PCT as an additional marker for differentiating inflammatory conditions in children with chemotherapy-induced neutropenia.</p><p><bold>Materials and methods</bold>. We presented the analysis of infectious complications in pediatric patients with oncological and onco- / hematological diseases between 2017–2020 (54 patients from 2 mnths – 17 years). PCT and CRP with clinical and instrumental diagnostic data were used for differential diagnosis of fever and development of antimicrobial therapy decision rules. Literature review concerning the discussed theme from 2006–2018 was done.</p><p><bold>Results.</bold> Eighty-five infectious episodes in 36 months were registered, among them 42 in pts with onco- / hematological diseases and 43 – with solid tumors. In the group of bacterial infectious complications mean CRP and PCT values were significantly higher than in group of nonbacterial, moreover the discriminative value was higher for PCT. We revealed the correlation between severity of infectious complications and values of markers of acute-phase reactions. In case of non-severe bacterial complications and other types of infections significant difference was revealed only for PCT mean values.</p><p><bold>Conclusion</bold>. Specificity of PCT concentration in bacterial infections exceeds that of CRP, which confirms the hypothesis of advantages in using PCT as differential marker of inflammatory conditions in children with malignancies. </p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Введение.</bold> Инфекционные осложнения у детей с онкологическими заболеваниями являются одной из ведущих причин смертности в периоды химиоиндуцированной нейтропении. Отсутствие чувствительных и специфичных признаков инфекционных осложнений, как и несвоевременная идентификация возбудителя, нередко приводит к неадекватной антибактериальной терапии. Использование лабораторных биомаркеров (прокальцитонин (ПКТ), С-реактивный белок (СРБ)) может способствовать дифференциальной диагностике инфекционных состояний и оптимизации тактики применения противомикробных препаратов. Цель исследования – оценка диагностической ценности ПКТ в качестве дополнительного дифференциального маркера воспалительных состояний у детей с химиоиндуцированной нейтропенией.</p><p><bold>Материалы и методы.</bold> Представлен анализ случаев инфекционных осложнений у пациентов детского возраста с онкологическими и онко- / гематологическими заболеваниями за период 2017–2020 гг. В исследование включены 54 пациента в возрасте от 2 мес до 17 лет. Для дифференциальной диагностики лихорадки в период постцитостатической нейтропении и выбора дальнейшей тактики противомикробной терапии использовались маркеры системного воспаления (ПКТ, СРБ) в сочетании с клиническими данными и результатами инструментального обследования. Выполнен анализ научной литературы за период 2006–2018 гг., посвященной представленной теме исследования.</p><p><bold> Результаты</bold>. За указанный период (36 мес) зарегистрировано 85 инфекционных эпизодов, 42 из них у пациентов с онко- / гематологическими заболеваниями и 43 – у больных с солидными опухолями. В группе эпизодов бактериальных инфекций средние значения СРБ и ПКТ были достоверно выше таковых в группе эпизодов инфекции небактериальной этиологии, при этом бόльшая дискриминативная способность имела место у ПКТ. Выявлена корреляция степени тяжести инфекционного процесса с уровнем повышения маркеров системного воспаления. В случаях нетяжелых бактериальных инфекций и инфекций небактериального происхождения достоверные различия отмечены только в отношении средних значений ПКТ.</p><p><bold>Заключение.</bold> Специфичность ПКТ при бактериальных инфекциях превышает таковую у СРБ, что подтверждает гипотезу о преимуществах определения уровня ПКТ при дифференциальной диагностике причин системного воспаления у детей с онкологическими заболеваниями. </p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>children</kwd><kwd>oncohematology</kwd><kwd>febrile neutropenia</kwd><kwd>procalcitonin</kwd><kwd>C-reactive protein</kwd><kwd>bacterial infection</kwd><kwd>antimicrobial therapy</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>дети</kwd><kwd>онкогематология</kwd><kwd>фебрильная нейтропения</kwd><kwd>прокальцитонин</kwd><kwd>С-реактивный белок</kwd><kwd>бактериальная инфекция</kwd><kwd>противомикробная терапия</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Simon A., Ammann R., Bode U. et al.
