Clinical characteristics of patients with positive blood culture for Mycobacterium tuberculosis in a general hospital
Objective
To retrospectively analyze the clinical and laboratory characteristics of patients with positive blood culture results for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb).
Methods
The clinical laboratory database of patients suspected with disseminated tuberculosis from January 2009 to January 2017 in Huashan Hospital affiliated with Fudan University were collected and analyzed. The clinical manifestations, laboratory characteristics and outcomes between disseminated tuberculosis patients with positive blood culture (positive blood culture group) for M. tb and negative results (negative blood culture group) were compared. T test, Mann-Whitney U test and Fisher exact test were used for statistical analysis.
Results
A total of 5 589 patients suspected with M. tb infection had peripheral blood culture for mycobacterium. Positive blood culture for M. tb was found in 26 disseminated tuberculosis patients, while 6 patients finally identified as nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) with species identification, and 22 disseminated tuberculosis patients with negative blood culture results were enrolled during the same period as control. The mean age ([49.1±10.1] years old vs[38.3±17.1] years old, t=2.460, P=0.018), the proportion of diagnosed with fever of unknown origin at admission (FUO) (65.0%[13/20] vs 13.6%[3/22], P=0.001), the proportion of diagnosed with focal infection (30.0%[6/20] vs 86.4%[19/22], P=0.001), the proportion of patients with other diseases (75.0%[15/20] vs 22.7%[5/22], P=0.002), the proportion of patients with hematological diseases (35.0%[7/20] vs 4.5%[1/22], P=0.018) and the proportion of patients with tumor (20%[4/20] vs 0[0/22], P=0.043) in the positive blood culture group were significantly different from those in the negative blood culture group. Laboratory examinations of the percentage of neutrophils, the percentage of lymphocytes, the percentage of monocytes, the value of neutrophil/lymphocyte, the level of hemoglobin, the level of erythrocyte sedimentation rate, the level of C-reactive protein, the level of procalcitonin and the positive rate of T-SPOT.TB in positive blood culture groups were significantly different from those in negative blood culture group (all P<0.05).
Conclusions
Peripheral blood M. tb culture is more likely to be positive for those elder disseminated tuberculosis patients with hematological diseases or tumors, and those with increase of neutrophil counts and inflammation markers but reduction of lymphocyte counts and hemoglobin.

期刊介绍:
The Chinese Journal of Infectious Diseases was founded in February 1983. It is an academic journal on infectious diseases supervised by the China Association for Science and Technology, sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association, and hosted by the Shanghai Medical Association. The journal targets infectious disease physicians as its main readers, taking into account physicians of other interdisciplinary disciplines, and timely reports on leading scientific research results and clinical diagnosis and treatment experience in the field of infectious diseases, as well as basic theoretical research that has a guiding role in the clinical practice of infectious diseases and is closely integrated with the actual clinical practice of infectious diseases. Columns include reviews (including editor-in-chief reviews), expert lectures, consensus and guidelines (including interpretations), monographs, short monographs, academic debates, epidemic news, international dynamics, case reports, reviews, lectures, meeting minutes, etc.
