Abstract
Objective: New clinical indicators are urgently needed for predicting the progression and complications of hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD) caused by EV-A71 infections.
Materials and Methods: Serum specimens from 132 EV-A71 HFMD patients and 73 health children were collected during 2012 to 2014 in Shenzhen, China. The specific cytokines/chemokines were detected with a 274-human cytokine antibody array, followed by a 38-inflammation cytokine array, and further validated by ELISA.
Results: Cytokines varied in different severity of EV-A71 HFMD patients. The ROC curve analysis revealed 6 serum cytokines with high sensitivity and specificity in predicting the disease progression. Eotaxin, IL-8 and IP-10 have showed high AUC values (0.90 - 0.95) for discrimination between the health controls and the patient group. The three cytokines showed high sensitivity (80% - 91%) and specificity (88% - 95%). MMP-8 had a high sensitivity and specificity to predict mild HFMD (100%, 100%). IL-1b and leptin discriminated the severe/critical group from the mild group (79% and 69% in sensitivity, 73% and 63% in specificity).
Conclusions: Eotaxin, IP-10 and IL-8 could be potential indicators for predicting HFMD progression with EV-A71 infection. MMP-8 is a specific indicator for mild infection, while IL-1b and leptin display potential for predicting the severity and criticality.
