Abstract: Objective To investigate the clinical cross infections of myeoplasma pneumoniae(MP)and other viruses in children,providing a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory disease.Methods Serum specimens of the children hospitalized with fever,respiratory symptom besides positive results of MP-Ab IgM detection were collected.And several common viruses popular in children were investigated within the specimens collected by ELISA kits or indirect immunofluorescence.Results (1)The PCT levels of 385 cases(81.7%)appear to be under 0.5 ng/ml.(2)In the 514 cases detected for Cox-IgG and Cox-IgM,the positive rates are respectively 40.3% and 35.6%.(3)2 cases(0.8%)appear to be irdluenza B virus positive.And the positive rates of parainfluenza virusl,2 and 3 are 0.8%,0,and 9%.4,84 cases(11.8%)are positive for EB-IgM and 451 cages(63.6%)positive for EB-IgG.Conclusion Cross infections rarely occur between MP and common respiratory viruses in Children.The cross-infection rate between Cox-virus and MP iS up to 35.6%.
