Abstract

Objective To study the Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in the clinical characteristics and treatment methods. Methods From June 2008 to December 2009,49 cases of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in patients with clinical data were retrospectively analyzed and summarized. Results 49 cases of children were diagnosed with acute upper respiratory tract infection in 13 cases(26.5% ) ,acute bronchitis 21 cases(42.9%) ,bronchial pneumonia, 15 cases( 30.6% ). Azithromycin alone treatment group,24 cases cured 22 cases ,2 cases improved, the cure rate of 91.7% ;erythromycin and azithromycin infusion + oral sequential treatment group,25 cases recovered,21cases improved,4 cases,the cure rate was 84%. Compared with the two groups,difference was not statistically significant(P > 0.05). All patients were treated in our hospital with average of 13.8d,follow-up period without recurrence.Conclusion Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in large differences in clinical manifestations, early diagnosis and treatment should be carried out. Azithromycin in the treatment effect was good, a short course of treatment could be used as treatment of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection.
