Abstract:

Objective To investigate the value of laboratory indicators in clinical diagnosis and treatment of the patients with severe hand, foot and mouth disease(HFMD) commplicated with enterovirus 71(EV71) and Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. Methods The data of 100 cases with HFMD and 50 cases with non-HFMD were collected in Beijing Ditan Hospital from March 2014 to August 2014. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-PCR) method was used to test the DNA in stool samples and obtained qualitative results. Passive agglutination test was performed to detect Mycoplasma pneumoniae antibody titers in serum. Then, we analyzed the possibility of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in HFMD group and non-HFMD group, and explored the correlation of EV71 infection complicated with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection and the severity of HFMD. Results The positive rate of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in the severe HFMD group(76%) was significantly higher than that in the mild HFMD group(48%, χ2=8.319, P=0.004). Conclusion Close teention should be paid to severe HFMD patients with the EV71 infection complicated with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. This is critically important for reducing the severity of HFMD.
