Abstract

The number of pediatric respiratory tract infection cases in China has significantly increased this year, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae is one of the main pathogens. This study aimed to investigate the epidemiological characteristics of M. pneumoniae in children in the Anhui region and to provide evidence for the prevention and control strategies of M. pneumoniae in children in this region. A total of 66,488 pediatric patients with respiratory tract infection were enrolled from January 2015 to November 2023 in this study. The results of this study exhibited that M. pneumoniae infection in the Anhui region was characterized by a high positive rate during 2021-2023, especially this year is considered a year of pandemic for M. pneumoniae infection. Moreover, the positive rate of M. pneumoniae in female children is significantly higher than in male children, and the infection rate of M. pneumoniae in children increases significantly with age, particularly in school-aged children.

Importance: The number of pediatric respiratory tract infection cases in China has significantly increased this year, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae is one of the main pathogens. This study aimed to investigate the epidemiological characteristics of M. pneumoniae in children in the Anhui region and provide evidence for the prevention and control strategies of M. pneumoniae in children in this region.

2015-2023 年中国安徽儿童肺炎支原体感染的流行特征。

今年以来，中国小儿呼吸道感染病例明显增多，肺炎支原体是主要病原体之一。本研究旨在调查安徽地区儿童肺炎支原体的流行病学特征，为该地区儿童肺炎支原体的防控策略提供依据。该研究共纳入了2015年1月至2023年11月期间的66488名呼吸道感染儿童患者。研究结果表明，2021-2023 年期间，安徽地区肺炎双球菌感染呈现出高阳性率的特点，尤其是今年被认为是肺炎双球菌感染的大流行年。此外，女性儿童的肺炎嗜血杆菌阳性率明显高于男性儿童，儿童的肺炎嗜血杆菌感染率随着年龄的增长而显著增加，尤其是学龄儿童：重要意义：今年以来，我国小儿呼吸道感染病例明显增多，肺炎支原体是主要病原体之一。本研究旨在探讨安徽地区儿童肺炎支原体的流行病学特征，为该地区儿童肺炎支原体的防控策略提供依据。
