Bronchiolitis Associated with Mycoplasma pneumoniae Infection in Infants in Foshan China: An Epidemiologic Study.

CONCLUSIONS Our study indicated that MP is an important cause of bronchiolitis, with peaks of occurrence during June and July every year. Pulmonary interstitial infiltration was a characteristic of this infection. Azithromycin treatment can shorten the course of MP-associated bronchiolitis. Investigation of the epidemiological characteristics of pediatric MP-associated bronchiolitis can help diagnose and treat the disease correctly. PMID: 33493141 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
