Characteristics of CT images of Mycoplasma Pneumonia in Children at Different Age Groups
Objective To explore the diagnostic value of multi-slice spiral CT(MSCT)in children with mycoplasma pneumonia(MPP).Methods We retrospectively analyzed 87 children with MPP diagnosed in our hospital from January 2022 to July 2023,and summarized their imaging features.Results The patients were divided into infant group(1-3 years old)with 25 cases,preschool group(preschool)with 33 cases and school-age group with 29 cases.The distribution of lesions in the three groups was mainly in both lungs.There was a significant statistical difference in interlobular septal thickening among the three groups(x 2=11.057,P=0.004),but there was no statistical difference among the characteristic groups such as tree fog sign,tree bud sign and lobar consolidation.No lymphadenopathy and pleural effusion were found in the children.Conclusion MPP in children has certain imaging characteristics,often involving both lungs,mainly showing signs such as tree fog sign,tree bud sign,ground glass density shadow,thickening of bronchial wall,and few lymph node enlargement and pleural effusion.
