| Core Tip |
Our study highlighted which clinical parameters should be focused on to differentiate between mild and severe mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP), which is crucial for pediatricians as it would enable us to make a quick diagnosis and consequently prompt treatment in case of severe MPP. We found that the duration of fever and cough was longer in the severe MPP group than in the mild MPP group. Similarly, the high sensitivity C-reactive protein levels, procalcitonin, alanine transaminase, aspartate aminotransferase, and lactate dehydrogenase were significantly higher in the severe MPP cohort than in the mild MPP group. Paradoxically, the neutrophil count was significantly higher in the mild MPP group than in the severe MPP group. More importantly, the incidence of myocardial damage was significantly higher in the severe MPP group than in mild MPP cases. However, it is unknown whether there is a causal link between severe MPP and myocardial damage; therefore, to ascertain this hypothesis, future research is recommended. |
