The Role of Lactate in Viral and Bacterial Infection

Completed
Conditions
Bacterial Infections
Lactate Blood Increase
Viral Infection
Registration Number
NCT04777747
Lead Sponsor
Daping Hospital and the Research Institute of Surgery of the Third Military Medical University
Brief Summary

Acute upper respiratory tract infection(AURI) is common in children, and viral infection is the main cause. However, several children with viral infection are easy to suffer from secondary bacterial infection, and the mechanism is unclear.

Detailed Description

Lactate is an important molecule in the spread and metastasis of tumor by suppressing the innate immune response. As is known, the immune system is not mature in children and it is reverse related to the age of children. An reasonable hypothesis is that the lactate is a independent risk factor in the children with viral infection progress to bacterial infection. Here, our aim is to test the hypothesis.
