Objective : To study the clinical value and exist factors for false positive of mycoplasma pneumonia by analyzing culture.Method: We deteced and cultured mycoplasma pneumonia from the Biochemistry Institue of Shanghai Kexin of the Second Medical University of Shanghai.Result: In all 460 specimen,100 cases with positive mycoplasma pneumonia(21.5%),360 cases with negtive ones.and then cultured monilial for the 100 cases with positive mycoplasma pneumonia.In all of them,33 cases with positive monilial (33%),67 cases with negative one.There's significance different by Chi square(P0.01).Conclusion: It's valuable for the diagnosing of mycoplasma pneumonia by mycoplasma pneumonia culture as while as monilial culture for the exist of false positive of mycoplasma pneumonia.
