Bronhoadenitis simplex in mycoplasma pneumonia in the child (differential diagnostics and treatment)

Background. Mycoplasma pneumoniae is included in the group of atypical pathogens of acute respiratory diseases. Mycoplasma pneumoniae is characterized by a tendency to prolonged course with progressive changes in the lungs. Main value in the confirmation of mycoplasma infection has microbiome in biosubstrates selection and serological diagnostics: the determination of specific immunoglobulins IgM or IgG in the dynamics to M. pneumoniae. Antibacterial therapy of mycoplasma pneumonia is prescribed based on the sensitivity of the pathogen to them. The duration of antibiotic treatment of mycoplasma pneumonia is determined by the dynamics of clinical and radiological data. Materials and methods. The article describes the features of the clinical course of mycoplasma pneumonia in a patient with tubinfection proceeding with bronchoadenitis and obstruction of the bronchus, which necessitated a differential diagnosis with tuberculosis of the intrathoracic lymph nodes and the appointment of repeated courses of antibiotic treatment. Results. In the described clinical case, the duration of Mycoplasma infection exceeded 3.5 months, during which time the patient received several courses of antibiotics. Mycoplasma pneumonia had a prolonged course, accompanied by bronchoadenitis. Conclusion. Our observations show the need to study the effectiveness of extended courses of antibiotics from the azalid group in the treatment of prolonged and complicated forms of Mycoplasma pneumonia.
