Abstract:
Objective To compare the efficacy and adverse reactions of doxycycline and levofloxacin in children with macrolide non-responsive mycoplasma pneumonia(MUMPP).Methods Clinical data of 240 MUMPP children admitted to our hospital from November 2023 to July 2024 were retrospectively analyzed,and they were divided into doxycycline group and levofloxacin group according to drug use,with 120 cases in each group.The efficacy of the two groups were compared,the time when body temperature dropped to nor-mal after taking antipyretics,the time when cough was reduced,the time when lung riles were resolved,the length of hospital stay,the peripheral blood indicators[WBC,neutrophilic granulocyte percentage,C reactive protein(CRP),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),D-dimer],the lung imaging recovery and the occurrence of ad-verse reactions.Results There was no significant difference in total effective rate between doxycycline group and levofloxacin group(93.33％vs.90.00％,P＜0.05).Compared with levofloxacin group,the duration of hospital stay in doxycycline group was shorter[(6.22±2.24)d vs.(7.39±2.47)d],and the duration of lung crackles disappeared longer[(4.47±2.06)d vs.(3.50±1.79)d],with statistical significance(P＜0.05).Af-ter treatment,the neutrophil percentage,CRP and LDH levels in the two groups were lower than before treat-ment,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between doxycycline group and levofloxacin group(15.83％vs.15.00％,P＞0.05).Conclusion Both doxycycline and levofloxacin have good efficacy in MUMPP children,with low inci-dence of adverse reactions and no serious adverse reactions.
