E336-E338 | Pages: | E336-E338 | Journal: | Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal | Abstract: | Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a common cause of community-acquired pneumonia and may cause life-threatening disease in children. We identified 30 (0.3%) confirmed M. pneumoniae cases by clinical and laboratory criteria in 11,526 pediatric intensive care unit admissions. Outcomes were comparable to patients admitted with other infections (n=3005; P > 0.1). Our findings indicate that empiric antimicrobial coverage for M. pneumoniae infection in pediatric intensive care unit is rarely needed.L6309959822020-02-26 | DOI: | 10.1097/INF.0000000000002029 | Resources: | https://www.embase.com/search/results?subaction=viewrecord&id=L630995982&from=exporthttp://dx.doi.org/10.1097/INF.0000000000002029 | | Keywords: | Mycoplasma pneumonia;Mycoplasma pneumoniae;New South Wales;outcome assessment;pediatric intensive care unit;preschool child;priority journal;Queensland;retrospective study;polymerase chain reaction;antibiotic agentantibiotic therapy;article;assisted ventilation;child;clinical laboratory;community acquired pneumonia;controlled study;encephalitis;female;Guillain Barre syndrome;hospital admission;hospitalized child;human;infant;laboratory test;major clinical study;male;multicenter study | Type: | Article |
