Abstract:
Objective To analyze the MP infection status in children with respiratory tract disease and the correlation with gen‐der ,age ,season and clinical conditions .Methods To investigate the clinical data retrospectively of 655 children with respiratory tract infection from January to December 2013 .Results The positive rate of MP antibody was 48 .09% with a higher incidence in girls than boys ,and those above 3 were more susceptible to it .Winter and spring were the peak seasons .The older group had a higher positive rate of MP antibody ,together with high morbidity of MPP and LP ,the differences were statistically significant (P<0 .05) ,while the younger group was inclined to get higher WBC count and percentage of increasing CRP and neutrophils ,the differ‐ences were statistically significant(P<0 .05) .Conclusion MP is a common pathogenic bacteria causes respiratory tract infection in children above 3 years ,especially in winter and spring .The antibody positive rate rise with age and the infected children are more likely to have pneumonia meanwhile the younger group has higher WBC count ,in which more cases get higher level of CRP and neutrophils .
