Values of the Diagnosis in Children’s Respiratory Tract Infection by Detecting the Mycoplasma Antibody

Objective:To study the mycoplasma antibodies to detect the application value of the clinical diagnosis of infantile respiratory tract infection. Method:During February 2012 to January 2013,847 cases in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed with using passive particle agglutination of the mycoplasma pneumoniae antibody in serums.Result:Among 847 samples,a total of 253 cases of samples was detected mycoplasma pneumoniae antibody positive,positive rate was 29.87%;pneumonia mycoplasma positive detection rate in boys was 32.74%,and pneumonia mycoplasma positive detection rate in girls was 26.58%. There was no significant difference between both of them(P 0.05).In different age groups,3 to 6 years old group’s positive rate up to 37.99%,however the 3 months to 1 years old group had a lowest positive rate which was 13.95%,there were significant differences in each group(P 0.05).Conclusion:Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a major pathogen of pediatric respiratory infection,the detection of mycoplasma antibodies has high value in early diagnosis.
