Abstract
Background: This study investigated the epidemiology of Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) in children with acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs) and explored the risk factors for severe mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (SMPP) in children. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 36,380 children with acute respiratory infections who underwent multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assays for nine respiratory pathogens from September 2021 to November 2024. Results: A total of 36,380 children with ARTIs were enrolled in this study. The co-detection rate of MP with other pathogens was significantly higher in the post-NPIs period than in the NPIs period (36.5% vs. 25.7%, p < 0.01). Multivariate regression identified the detection of influenza A virus (InfA), InfB, human parainfluenza virus (HPIV), human bocaparvovirus (HBoV), human rhinovirus (HRV), adenovirus (ADV), human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV), and human metapneumovirus (HMPV) as protective factors against MP epidemics (p < 0.01); meanwhile, older age, the cancellation of NPIs, and summer-autumn seasons were found to be risk factors. After adjusting for sex, age, period, season, and pathogens, InfB (OR: 3.009, 95%CI: 1.041-8.697, p = 0.042), HPIV (OR: 2.226, 95%CI: 1.170-4.235, p = 0.015), and ADV (OR: 2.035, 95%CI: 1.105-3.750, p = 0.023) were identified as independent risk factors for SMPP. Conclusions: These findings highlight post-NPI shifts in MP epidemiology and identify ADV, InfB, and HPIV as early warning markers for SMPP.
期刊介绍:
Viruses (ISSN 1999-4915) is an open access journal which provides an advanced forum for studies of viruses. It publishes reviews, regular research papers, communications, conference reports and short notes. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. We also encourage the publication of timely reviews and commentaries on topics of interest to the virology community and feature highlights from the virology literature in the ''News and Views'' section. Electronic files or software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material.
