Abstract

To describe the clinical and paraclinical characteristics of patients with pneumonia caused by co-infection with  Mycoplasma pneumoniae treated at the Pediatrics Center of Thai Nguyen Central Hospital from January 2023 to November 2024. Methods: This was a descriptive study in 95 patients with pneumonia caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae aged between 2 months and 5 years old. Results: The average age of patients was 31.40 ± 16.55 months, with a male/female ratio was 1.4/1. The co-infection rate was 29.5%, with 64.3% of involving Mycoplasma pneumoniae and bacteria. Streptococcus pneumoniae was the most common co-infection cause. Symptoms such as rapid breathing, cyanosis, wheezing, and low SpO2 were more frequent in the co-infected group. The numbers of leukocytosis, CRP levels and anemia in co-infected group were higher compared to those without co-infection. Chest X-rays showed more severe lung damage in the co-infected group. Conclusion:  Pneumonia cause by co-infection with Mycoplasma pneumonia is more severe than cause by only Mycoplasma pneumonia.
