Neutrophil CD64 expression is not a useful biomarker for detecting serious bacterial infections in febrile children at the emergency department

Abstract: NCD64 expression has poor discriminative value to detect children with an SBI in a general population of febrile children at the ED. It has no superior value compared to CRP in this setting, neither in total nor in sub-populations.

“…Many potential novel biomarkers have been studied in children at risk of IBI, however most do not demonstrate better diagnostic accuracy than the traditionally used biomarkers of CRP and PCT [ 31 ]. Some novel markers show potential use in certain settings but a more limited role in others; for example, CD64 (a protein expressed on neutrophils) has been found to be a good diagnostic marker in neonatal sepsis but performed poorly in studies of febrile children [ 32 , 33 ]. This highlights the importance of conducting validation studies in a wide range of settings.…”

“…2,6 CD64 is an Fc receptor of immunoglobulin G (IgG) 7 that constitutively presents on the surface of monocytes and appears and increases in granulocytes in case of infection, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, or tissue damage. As a result, CD64 surface expression on granulocytes has been described as a useful biomarker for bacterial infection diagnosis in previously healthy patients, postoperative circumstances, [8][9][10] and the neonatal period. [10][11][12] The primary aim of our pilot study was to assess the surface expression levels of CD64 on monocytes and granulocytes in a cohort of patients with SAB admitted to a PICU.…”
