Overview

Retrospective analysis compares clinical features in children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia by co-infection type, indicating diagnostic needs.

Key Points

  • To analyze differences in clinical and laboratory features among children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia, based on viral versus bacterial co-infections.
  • Retrospective study of 392 children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia
  • Divided into viral (n=254) and bacterial (n=138) co-infection groups
  • Compared epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory features including immune and inflammatory indicators.
  • Older children were more frequent in the viral group (median age 6 vs. 4 years, P=0.001)
  • Viral group showed higher serum amyloid A and D-dimer levels (P<0.05)
  • Bacterial group had higher procalcitonin levels and incidence of vomiting (P=0.021).
