ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:

Mycoplasmal pneumonia is one of the most common respiratory diseases in childhood, and is increasing in frequency. We reviewed several aspects of Mycoplasmal pneumonia for applying treatment.

METHODS:

We reviewed clinical and radiological features of 79 cases of serologically proven Mycoplasmal pneumonia in admitted children between January and December 2003.

RESULTS:

The mean age was 4 years 2 months and the sex ratio was 1 1.25 in the male to female ratio. The peak incidence of monthly distribution was September. On the chest x-ray examination, bronchopneumonia was the most common type and the right lower lobe (RLL) was the most common unilateral involvement in lobar consolidation. Leukocytosis, positive CRP and positive ESR were common findings in Mycoplasma pneumonia.

CONCLUSION:

In this study, peak incidence of monthly distribution did not conflict with previous reports but peak incidence of age in Mycoplasmal pneumonia was lower than in those reports. More studies are needed to prove changes of previous manifestations in Mycoplasmal pneumonia.
