Objective To understand the infection of mycoplasma pneumoniae in different seasons and ages in Guilin area,in order to provide the reference for clinic.Methods 1 015 infants with upper respiratory infection in our hospital from March 2011 to February 2012 were collected.And the results were statistically analyzed.Results The positive rate of mycoplasma pneumoniae antibody of infants with upper respiratory infection was 30.05%(305/1 015).The highest positive rate was 36.61% in 1-3 years old group,and the lowest positive rate was 10.49% in 0-1 years old group,with significant difference(P0.01).The highest detection rate of mycoplasma pneumoniae was 31.72% in winter,and there was no significant difference among different seasons(P0.05).Conclusion The detection and early diagnosis of mycoplasma pneumoniae antibody in infants with upper respiratory infection should be enhanced,which could guide the clinical medication reasonably,control disease progression,and decrease the occurrence of complication.
