The main objective of this study was to detect the presence of 14 respiratory viruses and atypical bacteria (Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia pneumoniae), via polymerase chain reaction in patients under 18 years old hospitalized due to community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) from Lima, Peru.
Atypical pathogens were detected in 40% (58/146); viral etiologies in 36% (52/146) and coinfections in 19% (27/146). The most common etiological agent was M. pneumoniae (n = 47), followed by C. pneumoniae (n = 11). The most frequent respiratory viruses detected were: respiratory syncytial virus A (n = 35), influenza virus C (n = 21) and parainfluenza virus (n = 10). Viral-bacterial and bacterium-bacterium coinfections were found in 27 cases. In our study population, atypical bacteria (40%) were detected as frequently as respiratory viruses (36%). The presence of M. pneumoniae and C. pneumoniae should not be underestimated as they can be commonly isolated in Peruvian children with CAP.
本研究的主要目的是通过聚合酶链反应检测秘鲁利马因社区获得性肺炎(CAP)住院的18岁以下患者中14种呼吸道病毒和非典型细菌(肺炎支原体、肺炎衣原体)的存在情况。
40%(58/146)的患者检测到非典型病原体;36%(52/146)为病毒病因,19%(27/146)为混合感染。最常见的病原体是肺炎支原体(n = 47),其次是肺炎衣原体(n = 11)。检测到的最常见呼吸道病毒为:呼吸道合胞病毒A(n = 35)、C型流感病毒(n = 21)和副流感病毒(n = 10)。发现27例病毒-细菌和细菌-细菌混合感染。在我们的研究人群中,非典型细菌(40%)的检出率与呼吸道病毒(36%)一样高。肺炎支原体和肺炎衣原体的存在不应被低估,因为它们在秘鲁患CAP的儿童中很常见。
