Abstract:
Mycoplasma pneumonia(MP)is a common cause of respiratory tract infections in children. The symptoms of MP infection range from mild to severe,which is often self-limiting.A few cases can develop to severe extrapulmonary complications.Because the symptoms and imagings of MP infection are not specific,so it may by means of diagnostic tests such as serology or PCR to guide the accurate therapy and to reduce the oc-currence of drug-resistance.In addition,recent studies indicate that MP can be carriage in the upper respiratory tract among healthy children,but clinically it is discriminate between MP infection and carriage.The asympto-matic carriage of MP could be the results of recent infection or the pathogenic persistence after infections.
