Acute lower respiratory tract infections are one of the major causes of childhood morbidity and mortality in developing countries. This study was undertaken at Hacettepe University Children's Hospital to determine the role of viruses and Mycoplasma pneumoniae in respiratory tract infections in children. Eighty-three patients with lower respiratory tract infections were selected at random from among the children admitted to the hospital for evaluation of respiratory symptoms. Acute and convalescent serum samples were collected from all patients for the complement-fixation test and the following antigens were used: respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), adenovirus, parainfluenza virus Type 1, influenza viruses A and B, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae. The test was positive in 39 of 83 patients (47%), and RSV was the most frequent agent detected serologically (15.7%).
急性下呼吸道感染是发展中国家儿童发病和死亡的主要原因之一。本研究在哈杰泰佩大学儿童医院进行，以确定病毒和肺炎支原体在儿童呼吸道感染中的作用。从因呼吸道症状入院接受评估的儿童中随机选取83例下呼吸道感染患者。采集所有患者的急性期和恢复期血清样本进行补体结合试验，并使用以下抗原：呼吸道合胞病毒（RSV）、腺病毒、1型副流感病毒、甲型和乙型流感病毒以及肺炎支原体。83例患者中有39例（47%）检测呈阳性，RSV是血清学检测中最常见的病原体（15.7%）。
