Abstract

Objective: Review the treatment outcomes of severe Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia at the Center for pulmonology and respiratory care, Vietnam National Children’s Hospital in 2023.


Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 135 children diagnosed with severe Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia at the Center for pulmonology and respiratory care from May 2023 to the end of December 2023.


Results: All children were discharged from the hospital after treatment and did not have to be transferred to the Intensive Care Department. 74,8% of children with respiratory failure needed oxygen, and no child required non-invasive ventilation. 65,9% of children had to use doxycycline or quinolone, and 9,5% of children had to use corticosteroids. The average duration of fever is 9,5±6,8 days, the average hospital stay is 11,1±5,4 days. The group of children under 5 years old accounts for 72,6%, this group has respiratory failure and requires more oxygen and during treatment requires more corticoid or IVIG but is less likely to need to switch to doxycycline or quinolone than the group of children over 5 years old. year old.


Conclusion: Children with severe Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia have a long hospital stay and require a combination of treatment methods. Therefore, it is necessary to diagnose and determine the severity of the disease based on clinical and paraclinical conditions for good disease management.
