Abstract:
Objective:To study the pathogenic distribution of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in children with severe pneumonia from Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University, and to investigate the drug resistance of major pathogenic bacteria.Methods:A total of 177 children with severe pneumonia undergoing fiberoptic bronchoscopy in Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University from January 2014 to December 2018 were enrolled.Their bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was collected for pathogen identification, pathogen culture and drug sensitivity analysis.The pathogens were detected by direct immunofluorescence quantitative PCR.Results:Of 177 cases enrolled, 100 children had at least one pathogen detected, and the positive rate was 58.13%.Among all the pathogens detected, Mycoplasma pneumonia (MP) had the highest detection rate, which was found in 41 cases.The top three bacteria detected included Streptococcus pneumoniae (9 cases, 10.59%), Staphylococcus aureus (8 cases, 9.41%), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (6 cases, 7.06%). The top three viruses detected were cytomegalo virus (CMV) (14 cases, 33.33%), human bocavirus (HBoV) (10 cases, 23.81%), and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) (8 cases, 19.05%). The drug sensitive test indicated that main kinds of Gram-negative bacteria had low resistance to quinolones, aminoglycosides, carbapenems, and enzymatic beta-lactams.Main kinds of Gram-positive bacteria had low resistance to Linezolid and vancomycin.The virus detection rate and MP detection rate in severe pneumonia children under 5 years old were about 30.00% and 20.00%, respectively.The MP detection rate in children above 5 years old exceeded 30.00%.The bacteria detection rates in children under and above 2 years old were over 20.00% and about 15.00%, respectively.Airway abnormalities were common in children with severe pneumonia, mainly including tracheobronchial malacia and stenosis. Conclusions:The most common pathogen of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in severe pneumonia children under 5 years old in Suzhou is viruses.The bacteria detection rate is high in children under 2 years old.Common Gram-positive bacteria show high susceptibility to vancomycin and Linezolid. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is highly sensitive to quinolones, aminoglycosides, carbapenems, and enzymatic beta-lactams.Importance should be attached to the airway abnormalities in children, especially infants, with severe pneumonia.
