CLINICAL AND LABORATORY ASPECTS OF ACUTE OBSTRUCTIVE BRONCHITIS IN CHILDREN INFECTED WITH MYCOPLASMA PNEUMONIAE

The aim of the work is to improve the prognosis of acute bronchitis on the basis of the study of etiology, clinical anamnestic and laboratory-instrumental features of acute bronchitis in children infected with Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Materials and methods: Medical records of inpatients, data from laboratory and clinical examinations, orders from the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. Statistical processing of the obtained results was carried out with the calculation of parametric and non-parametric criteria. The study included 72 patients with acute obstructive bronchitis, infected with Mycoplasma pneumoniae and patients not infected with intracellular pathogens who were hospitalized under the conditions of pediatric ward of children of younger and older children of the National Children’s Clinical Hospital №24. Results: Found that infected with mycoplasma compared with uninfected intracellular infection, more characteristic course of acute obstructive bronchitis on the background of febrile temperature with its duration of more than 4 days, the presence of midbubble and single dry or wet rales, as well as. In general, in patients infected with mycoplasma, compared with patients infected with chlamydia, there is a higher functional stress of immunity with the phenomena of exhaustion. Conclusions: Attention is drawn to the fact that clinical, laboratory data and immunological examinations with the use of systematic analysis make it possible to predict the consequences in the history of children with intracellular infections of various somatic pathologies. In doing so, multivariate and correlation analyzes make it possible to develop new diagnostic criteria.
