ABSTRACT
Objective Mycoplasma pneumoniae is one of the main pathogens of community-acquired pneumonia in children and teenagers , which may cause mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia ( MPP) .Atelectasis is one of the most common manifestations of MPP.The aim of the article was to evaluate the diagnostic and therapeutic value of fiberoptic bronchoscopy ( FB) in children with MPP associated with atelectasis . Methods Retrospective analysis were made on clinical data and FB records of 99 cases of hospitalized children with MPP associated with atelectasis from August 2010 to December 2012 . Results The positive rate of MP-DNA was 92.9%(92/99) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and the positive rate of MP-Ab-IgM in serum was 68.7%(68/99).All pa-tients showed obviously bronchial mucosa congestive edema during FB examination .The results are as followsbronchial phlegm bloc-king in 31 cases (31.3%), lumen inflammatory stenosis in 22 cases (22.2%),mucosal ulcer change in 7 cases(7.1%) and mucous nodular change in 3 cases (3.0%).4 weeks after being treated with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), only 3 cases remained in atelec-tasis, the partial and complete re-expansion rate reaching 96.5%(82 of 85). Conclusion The positive rate of BALF MP-DNA de-tection technology for the diagnosis of MP infection is higher than that of serum MP-Ab-IgM examination .Early interventional therapy by FB can shorten the course of disease and promote the lung re-expansion in children with MPP associated with atelectasis .
