Abstract

A total of 144 pediatric patients with lower respiratory infection ranging in age from 6 to 14 years were evaluated for Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection by serology. Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection was found in 51 patients (% 35). Patients with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection were more older than patients with other pneumoniae agents. Infection was seen throughout the year, but it is more common during winter. Treatment with erythromycin and clarithromycin reduced the duration of the illness and accelerated the resolution of symptoms.

Özet

Alt solunum yolu infeksiyonu olan 6-14 yaş arası 144 çocuk hasta serolojik yöntemlerle Mycoplasma pneumoniae sıklığı açısından araştırıldı ve 51 hastada (% 35) Mycoplasma pneumoniae infeksiyonu bulundu. Mycoplasma pneumoniae infeksiyonlu hastaların yaş ortalamaları diğer etkenlerle pnömoni gelişen hastalara oranla daha yüksekti. İnfeksiyon tüm yıl boyunca görülürken, en sık olarak kış aylarında saptandı. Tedavide kullanılan eritromisin ve klaritromisin hastalığın süresini kısaltarak semptomların düzelmesini sağladı.
