Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the rapid nucleic acid amplification detection of Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP)-DNA and MP-RNA in the diagnosis of MP infection and therapeutic values in children. Methods:Patients who were diagnosed with pneumonia were enrolled from the Department of Respiration, Children′s Hospital of Capital Institute of Pediatrics from January 2018 to December 2018.Specimens were detected using the MP and Macrolide-Resistant isolates Diagnostic Kit (PCR Fluorescence Probing, Jiangsu Mole Bioscience Co., Ltd.) and MP Diagnostic Kit (Isothermal RNA amplification, Shanghai Rendu Biotechnology Co., Ltd.).Results:Among them, 42.1%(840 cases) of the 1 994 cases were positive for MP-DNA, and the macrolide associated gene mutations were detected in 96.0% (806/840 cases) of them, while 33.9% (551 cases) of 1 624 cases were positive for MP-RNA.Seven hundred and fifty-eight specimens were simultaneously detected by adopting MP-DNA and MP-RNA, and the positive rate was 43.1% (327/758 cases) and 36.7% (278/758 cases), accordingly, which were inconsistent (Kappa=0.604) in 613 (80.9%, 613/758 cases) cases, with significant differences ( χ2=6.60, P=0.01). Part of the specimens were rechecked with the interval of 7 days: MP-RNA was negative in 70.1% (47/67 cases) specimens and MP-DNA was negative in 36.1% (22/91 cases) specimens ( χ2=33.20, P<0.01). Conclusions:The positive detection rate of MP was at a high level in 2018, in Beijing, China.The results of MP-DNA and MP-RNA are consistant.But RNA detection can help to diagnose MP in the early stage, and monitor the survival of MP and its efficiency.
