Abstract

Objective:To investigate the epidemiology and etiology of lobar pneumonia.Methods:There were 296 cases of children hospitalized in Zaozhuang region from January 2006 to November 2008 enrolled. Tubercle bacillusnurture,Mycoplasma pneumoniae,Chlamydia DNA,and five viruses were tested on the date of admission. Results:The cases of children with mycoplasma DNA positive were 76 cases (accounting for 42.5% of the number of pathogen-positive). Epidemic season of Mycoplasma was from November to April of the following year,viruses and bacteria was from June to August mainly; Age of onset of lobar pneumonia was from 1 to 7 years old,accounting for 59.7%. Conclusions:There were many kinds of pathogen in children with lobar pneumonia in Zaozhuang region,however mycoplasma was the mainly etiology. The epidemic season was to mainly in the cold and hot seasons.
