Abstract:
Objective To investigate the infectious rates of 9 common pathogens and epidemiology in children with acute respira‐tory tract infections(ARI) in Maoming district .Methods The serum were collected from 6 241 children with acute respiratory in‐fection .IgM of 9 common pathogen including Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) ,Legionella pneumophila (LP) ,Coxiella burnetii (C .burnetii) ,Chlamydophila pneumoniae(CP) ,adenovirus(ADV) ,respiratory syncytial virus(RSV) ,type A and type B influenza virus(INFA and INFB) ,and parainfluenza virus(PIVS) ,were detected using immunofluorescence assay .Results Among 6 241 ca‐ses ,1 320 showed atypical pathogens infection ,and infection rate was 21% .The positive rate of MP was 15 .12% ,the highest infec‐tious pathogen;followed by the positive rate of INFB ,LP ,ADV and PIVS were 3 .03% ,1 .92% ,0 .54% and 0 .22% respectively . The pathogens with the lowest positive rate were RSV ,COX ,INFA and CP ,their infectious rates were 0 .14% ,0 .11% ,0 .048%and 0 .016% respectively .Conclusion The infection rate of atypical pathogen among children is high in this area ,which should be taken seriously .MP is the most common pathogen in children with ARI in Maoming district .The pathogen positive rate has rela‐tionship with season .
