Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic effectiveness of rapid serological testing and microbial culture in children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae(MP)infection.Methods:A total of 80 children with MP infection,admitted to the hospital,underwent both rapid serological testing and microbial culture.The diagnostic outcomes of the two methods were analyzed.Results:The confirmation rate for rapid serological testing was 75.00%(60/80),while that for microbial culture was significantly higher at 96.25%(77/80).The pathogen detection rate of microbial culture(96.25%)was also higher than that of rapid serological testing(75.00%).For children of different ages and disease durations,the positive detection rate was higher with microbial culture than with rapid serological testing.The sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,and negative predictive value of microbial culture were all superior to those of rapid serological testing(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Microbial culture enhances diagnostic accuracy and pathogen detection in children with MP infection,thereby improving diagnostic efficacy and is worth promoting.
