Pathogenic analysis of 779 children with cough after respiratory tract infection
Objective To analyze the pathogenic characteristics of post infection cough(PIC)in children with respiratory infections in Anshun area.Methods Children who met the inclusion criteria for the study were selected from January 2022 to January 2023,and the pathogenic characteristics of children in different age groups were compared based on age factors divided into infant group,preschool group,preschool group,and school age group.Results Among the 779 pediatric patients,708 were infected with single pathogens,mainly Mycoplasma pneumoniae(M.p),Streptococcus pneumoniae(S.p),and Haemophilus influenzae(H.i);The PIC pathogens vary among different age groups,and there is a statistically significant difference in the distribution of each pathogen among different age groups(P=0.000<0.05).Conclusion The main pathogens of PIC in children in Anshun area are M.p and S.p.The etiological composition of PIC varies among children of different age groups.
