Abstract

|
|
There are many reports that mixed infection of respiratory tract caused by virus and bacteria are of current interest. However, there is almost no report about the study of mixed viral and bacterial respiratory infection in Koean children.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mycoplasma pneumoniae and adenovirus type 3 mixed infection in hospitalizeed children with pneumonia, with lower respiratory tract syndrome and others.
Mycoplasma pneumoniae and adenovirus infection were serologically assyed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The results showed that 31.6%(18/57) of the hospitalized children simultaneously had antibodies against Mycoplasma pneumoniae and
adenovirus
type 3. In particular, the mixed infection rate was high in hospitalized children who were clinically suspicious of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. The mixed infection pattern was the combination of primary, past and reinfection of Mycoplasma
pneumoniae and adenovirus type 3. However, the leading type was the combination of primary Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection and past adenovirus type 3 infection, inferring that previous adenovirus infection predisposed to Mycoplasma pneumoniae
infection.
It was also detected a case of simultaneous primary Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection . It was also detected a case of simultaneous primary Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection and adenovirus type 3 reinfection. Therefore, it should be taken clinical
interest
about mixed viral and bacterial respiratory infection.
