Clinical value of monitoring cytokine levels for assessing the severity of mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia in children.
Background: To investigate the clinical relevance of cytokine levels in assessment of the severity of mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) in children.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 150 pediatric cases of MPP admitted to a local hospital in China from November 1, 2022 to October 31, 2023. These MPP cases were divided into mild (n=100) and severe (n=50) groups according to the severity of the disease. Cytokine levels, including Interferon-γ (IFN-γ), Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α), C-reactive protein (CRP), Interleukin-6 (IL-6), Interleukin-2 (IL-2), and D-Dimer (D-D), were compared between the two groups. The diagnostic efficacy of each cytokine in assessing the severity of MPP was analyzed through Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves, and correlation between cytokine levels and disease severity was assessed using Pearson's correlation coefficient.
Results: The IL-2 level was significantly lower, while TNF-α, IL-6, and IFN-γ levels were significantly higher in the severe group compared to the mild group (all P<0.05). TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-6, CRP, and D-D were identified as factors influencing the severity of MPP (all P<0.05). The ROC curve analysis showed that the areas under the curve (AUCs) of TNF-α, IL-2, IL-6, IFN-γ, CRP, and D-D were 0.864, 0.692, 0.874, 0.949, 0.814, and 0.691, respectively (all P<0.001), indicating their diagnostic value in assessing the severity of MPP. There exists a positive correlation between IL-2 and the percentage of normal lung density on Computed Tomography (CT) scan (P<0.05), while TNF-α, IL-6, IFN-γ, CRP, and D-D showed negative correlations with the percentage of normal lung density (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-2, IL-6, IFN-γ, CRP, and D-D are aberrantly expressed in children with MPP and are associated with the severity of the disease. These cytokines have high diagnostic value and can serve as reference indicators for clinical, especially prognostic assessment of the severity of (pediatric) MPP.

These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
