Clinical Analysis of Lobar Pneumonia with Mycoplasma Pneumonia Infection in Children

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of lobar pneumonia caused by mycoplasma pneumonia( MP), and diagnose lobar pneumonia in the early stage to prevent complications. Methods The clinical data of 105 cases with mycoplasma pneumonia were retrospectively analyzed. The observation group included 53 cases of lobar pneumonia with mycoplasma pneumonia infections; the control group included 52 cases of bronchopneumonia. The age of onset,pulmonary complications,and treatment time were analyzed and compared. Results The age of onset in observation group is 5-12 years old. The number of the observation group patients with pleural effusion,atelectasis,psychiatric symptoms,liver injury,myocardial damage,gastrointestinal symptoms and rash and other complications was higher than that of the control group. The time of hospitalization and course of fever in the observation group were longer than that in the control group. The absorption rate of Chest X-ray in the observation group was slower than that in the control group. The difference was statistically significant( P 0. 05). Conclusion Children suffering from MP-lobar pneumonia are older than those with the general mycoplasma pneumonia and easily combined with pulmonary complications. The course of treatment lasts longer and the X-ray absorption is slower. In order to reduce the incidence of pulmonary complications,early diagnosis and active treatment are necessary.
