Abstract:
Objective To understand the epidemiological characteristics of children with positive IgM of mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) in Wuhan, and to provide a scientific theoretical basis for the diagnosis, prevention and effective control of mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. Methods Patients with respiratory diseases such as fever, cough and runny nose from January 2014 to December 2018 in the Pediatric Outpatient Department and Inpatient Department of Wuhan University People's Hospital were included in the study. Results From 2014 to 2018, a total of 46,790 samples were collected, and the MP-IgM positive rate was 44.08%. The male MP-IgM positive rate was 39.62%, while the female MP-IgM positive rate was 51.00%. The MP-IgM positive rate in males was lower than that in females (χ2=586.15, P<0.0001). There were significant differences in the positive rate among different age groups, and the infection rate in infants aged 3 months was the lowest (χ2=4195.30, P<0.0001). The MP-IgM positive rate in the first and second seasons of infancy within 1 year of age was higher than those in the third and fourth seasons, and the difference was statistically significant (χ21 days =25.05, χ23 months=26.59, χ26 months=26.18, P<0.0001). The MP-IgM positive rate of children aged 1-16 in the second and third seasons was higher than that in the first and fourth seasons, and the difference was statistically significant (χ21-3 years=17.59, χ24-6 years=28.92, χ27-16 years =11.43, P<0.05). Conclusion MP-IgM positive rate was related to age, gender and season.
