Abstract:

Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) infection is a heterogeneous disease. Clinically, in children diagnosed with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP), severe Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (SMPP), refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (RMPP) and critical MPP, in addition to causing serious impacts on children’s life safety such as treatment difficulties and poor prognosis, various degrees of sequelae often exist. To explore the influencing factors and to improve the early warning indicators of MPP severity, is of great significance for early intervention, reducing the morbidity and sequelae of SMPP and RMPP, and reducing the mortality rate of SMPP and RMPP. In clinical practice, mycoplasma drug resistance, clinical manifestations, laboratory indicators, imaging manifestations, and the application of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) in children infected with MPP are related to the occurrence of MPP severity. This paper reviews the research progress of the above related factors.
