摘要:	BACKGROUND: It has been shown that matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is involved in the pathogenesis of various pulmonary inflammatory diseases. We determined the MMP-9 concentration in the plasma of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) patients before and after antibiotic treatment. METHODS: Gelatin zymography and ELISA analysis were used to measure MMP-9 activity and MMP-9 level, respectively, in 35 control subjects and 46 CAP patients. RESULTS: WBC counts, neutrophils, MMP-9 activity and MMP-9 level were significantly higher in CAP patients compared with that of control subjects (P<0.001), while MMP-9 activity and MMP-9 level were returned to normal after the antibiotic treatment (P<0.001). In addition, MMP-9 level correlated positively with WBC counts and neutrophils number both before and after the antibiotic treatment. CONCLUSIONS: MMP-9 may play an important role in the pathogenesis of CAP with a positive correlation with the number of neutrophils.
