Peripheral blood microR-146a and microR-29c expression in children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia and its clinical value

ConclusionSerum microR-29c and microR-146a were underexpressed in children withMycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia, and diagnostic accuracy was significantly improved with combined microR-29c and microR-146a detection. Therefore, both microR-29c and microR-146a levels can be used as biomarkers for the diagnosis ofMycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia.
