 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 8 Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in lower respiratory tract infections in children Characteristics of the prevalence of [Abstract] Objective To investigate Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) in children, the prevalence of lower respiratory tract infection. Methods of December 2006 to November 2007 hospitalized patients with lower respiratory tract infection, with ELISA method for Mycoplasma pneumoniae IgG / IgM quantitative detection of Determination of MP IgM positive rate of MP infection and season, the relationship between age. Results MP infection have a higher incidence throughout the year, the Four Seasons was no significant difference between (Pgt; 0.05.MP infection is still pre- children, school-age children good hair, but there are trends in younger age, the infant group incidence rate 18.3% (P lt;0.01). Conclusion MP infection of predilection throughout the year, especially in autumn and winter in the region, the highest incidence rates. infant group increasing trend in incidence can not be ignored. [Keywords:] lower respiratory tract infection, children, mycoplasma pneumonia Mycoplasma pneumoniae (Mycoplasma Pneumoniae, MP is a range of bacteria and viruses between a pathogenic microorganism, Mycoplasma pneumoniae as people increasingly extensive and intensive research, a lot of data have shown that MP is a common respiratory infection in children and adults and important atypical pathogen. To understand the MP in the lower respiratory tract infections in children the prevalence of the characteristics of 575 cases of this infection in hospitalized children with lower respiratory tract ELISA method MP’s survey to find the region of MP infection in children, are as follows. 1. Objects Select from December 2006 to November 2007 in our hospital in children with lower respiratory tract infection treated 575 cases, 297 cases were male, female 278 cases, aged 41 days to 13 years, 1-year-old group of 153 patients, 3 years group
