Lung Function in Adults with Mycoplasmal Pneumonia

Lung Function in Adults with Mycoplasmal Pneumonia

We prospectively studied on lung function of 17 patients (7 men and 10 women) of acute Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia. Lung function tests including %VC, FEV1.0%, Peak flow, V75/HT, V25/HT, V50/V25 and MMF were measured during the acute and convalescent stage. The results showed disfunction of peri...

Zusammenfassung:We prospectively studied on lung function of 17 patients (7 men and 10 women) of acute Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia. Lung function tests including %VC, FEV1.0%, Peak flow, V75/HT, V25/HT, V50/V25 and MMF were measured during the acute and convalescent stage. The results showed disfunction of peripheral airway because of reduction in V50/HT, V25/HT and MMF. It was suggested that lung function in patients with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia was impaired at the high lung volume as well as low lung volume.
