The number of MP infection cases dramatically decreased early during the implementation of NPIs, and the previous epidemic trend resumed after the NPIs were lifted, with the number of cases during the period 2019-2023 peaked in November 2023. In children aged < 5 years, the levels of IgA and IgM and the percentages of total T cells and cytotoxic T cells in the \"before the implementation of NPIs\" group were greater than those in the other groups, and the percentage of total B cells was lower than that in the other groups. In children aged ≥ 5 years, the IgM level in the \"before the implementation of NPIs\" group was greater than that in the other groups.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The number of MP-infected hospitalized children decreased significantly after NPI implementation and reached its highest peak during 2019-2023 in November 2023. After the NPIs were lifted, the level of humoral immunity was decreased and balance lymphocyte subsets were disrupted, especially in children aged < 5 years. We should pay close attention to and prevent MP infection in a timely manner after epidemics caused by large respiratory pathogens.</p>","PeriodicalId":11782,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases","volume":" ","pages":"1837-1845"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141632975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
