Aim: Herpes zoster is rarely seen in children, but is more common and more severe in those with underlying medical conditions. The purpose of this study was to comprehensively evaluate cases of herpes zoster in all paediatric patients and to detail the clinical course and complications of this disease in children with and without underlying health problems in terms of similarities and differences. Methods: The course of paediatric patients diagnosed with herpes zoster in a tertiary university hospital over a 19‐year period was evaluated from the time of diagnosis, divided into groups with and without underlying disease. Results: In our study, where we evaluated 150 herpes zoster attacks in 143 children, 79.3% of the patients (n = 119) had underlying diseases, while 20.7% (n = 31) were healthy children. The age at the time of primary varicella‐zoster virus and herpes zoster was significantly younger in the group without an underlying disease compared to the group with an underlying disease. Pain was reported more in the healthy group, and the duration of symptoms was longer. Ophthalmic nerve involvement was significantly higher in the group without a known disease. Treatment was administered in 90% of all attacks. In the group with underlying diseases, the duration of intravenous treatment and hospital stay were significantly higher as expected. Conclusions: This study shows that herpes zoster attacks in healthy children can also progress with severe symptoms and complications. Approaches to reduce the burden of herpes zoster should be adopted and developed for all paediatric patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Current data on fosfomycin usage in children are limited. We present data on the clinical use of intravenous (IV) fosfomycin in children. Hospitalized patients who received ≥3 days of IV fosfomycin between April 2021 and March 2023 were analyzed retrospectively. Forty-three episodes of infection in 39 patients were evaluated. The mean age of the patients was 5.35 (10 days to 17.5 years) years, and 54% were male. Infections were hospital-acquired in 79% of the episodes. Indications for fosfomycin were urinary tract infection (35%), bacteremia (32.6%), catheter-related bloodstream infection (16.3%), soft tissue infection (4.7%), sepsis (4.7%), surgical site infection (2.3%), burn infection (2.3%), and pneumonia (2.3%). Klebsiella pneumoniae was identified in 46.5% of the episodes, and a pan-drug or extensive drug resistance was detected in 75% of them. Carbapenem was used before fosfomycin at significantly higher rates in K. pneumoniae episodes (P = .006). Most (88.5%) patients received fosfomycin as a combination therapy. Culture negativity was achieved in 80% of episodes within a median treatment period of 3 (2–22) days, which was significantly shorter in K. pneumoniae episodes (P < .001). Treatment-related side effects were seen in 9.3% of the episodes. Side effects were significant after 3 weeks of treatment (P = .013). The unresponsivity rate to fosfomycin was 23.3%. Nine (21%) of the patients who were followed up in the intensive care units mainly died because of sepsis (56%). IV fosfomycin is an effective agent in treating severe pediatric infections caused by resistant microorganisms. Fosfomycin can be used in various indications and is generally safe for children.

- Abstract
Objectives: the aim of this study is to identify the epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory features of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in children.Methods: a retrospective study was conducted by pediatric infectious disease specialists from 32 different hospitals from all over Turkey by case record forms. Pediatric cases who were diagnosed as COVID-19 between March 16, 2020, and June 15, 2020 were included. Case characteristics including age, sex, dates of disease onset and diagnosis, family, and contact information were recorded. Clinical data, including the duration and severity of symptoms, were also collected. Laboratory parameters like biochemical tests and complete blood count, chest X-ray, and chest computed tomography (CT) were determined. Results: there were 1,156 confirmed pediatric COVID-19 cases. In total, male cases constituted 50.3% (n = 582) and females constituted 49.7% (n = 574). The median age of the confirmed cases was 10.75 years (4.5-14.6). Of the total cases, 90 were younger than 1 year of age (7.8%), 108 were 1-3 years of age (9.3%), 148 were 3-6 years of age (12.8%), 298 were 6-12 years of age (25.8%), 233 were 12-15 years of age (20.2%), and 268 cases were older than 15 years of age (23.2%). The most common symptom of the patients at the first visit was fever (50.4%) (n = 583) for a median of 2 days (IQR: 1-3 days). Fever was median at 38.4 degrees C (38.0-38.7 degrees C). The second most common symptom was cough (n = 543, 46.9%). The other common symptoms were sore throat (n = 143, 12.4%), myalgia (n = 141, 12.2%), dyspnea (n = 118, 10.2%), diarrhea (n = 112, 9.7%), stomachache (n = 71, 6.1%), and nasal discharge (n = 63, 5.4%). When patients were classified according to disease severity, 263 (22.7%) patients were asymptomatic, 668 (57.7%) patients had mild disease, 209 (18.1%) had moderate disease, and 16 (1.5%) cases had severe disease. One hundred and forty-nine (12.9%) cases had underlying diseases among the total cases; 56% of

PULMONARY aspergillosis ,ASPERGILLOSIS ,INVASIVE diagnosis ,CHILD patients ,ODDS ratio - Abstract
Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in immunosuppressed children. Early detection of the infection can improve prognosis in this patient population. To investigate the utility of Aspergillus galactomannan antigen assay (GM-EIA) as a diagnostic tool for IA in at-risk paediatric patients. For the study, 659 GM-EIA results from 59 patients diagnosed with IA and 3368 GM-EIA results from 351 subjects without evidence for IA (controls) were reviewed retrospectively. Three cut-off values (i.e. ≥0.5, ≥1, ≥1.5) were specified to determine GM-EIA positivity. The median age was 6.3 years for boys and 14.5 years for girls. There was a significant difference between the girls and boys in terms of age (p < 0.01). For proven/probable/possible IA patients, sensitivity of 67.8% and specificity of 59.8% were detected when the ≥0.5 cut-off value was used for GM-EIA-positivity. The specificity increased to 80% at the cut-off of ≥1 and to 88% at the cut-off of ≥1.5. False positivity rates were 9.14, 3, and 1.45% at the ≥0.5, ≥1 and ≥1.5 cut-offs respectively. In the proven/probable IA group, sensitivity and negative predictive values were 86.9 and 97.2% at the ≥0.5 cut-off, 85.7 and 97.9%, at the ≥1 cut-off and 84.2 and 98.1% at ≥1.5 cut-off respectively. The positive likelihood ratio was 7.57 and the odds ratio was 42.67 at ≥1.5 cut-off. The GM-EIA may be used for both screening and diagnostic purposes in paediatric patients using a cut-off value of ≥1.5 for GM-EIA positivity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Doğuştan Kalp Hastalığı Olan Çocuklarda Hayat Kalitesinin Ölçümlendirilmesi ve Sosyodemografik ÖzelliklerAmaç: Her yıl binlerce bebek doğuştan kalp defektiyle doğmaktadır. Medikal ve cerrahi tedavideki çok önemli gelişmeler sonucunda bu çocukların yaşam süreleri artmıştır. Sonuç olarak giderek sayısı artan bu hasta grubunda sağ kalım dışındaki tedavi sonuçlarına, özellikle de yaşam kalitesi üzerine daha fazla odaklanılması gereği ortaya çıkmıştır. Ülkemizde DKH'nın izlemlerinde yaşam kalitesi değerlendirilmemekte olup, poliklinik kontrollerinde hastaların genel yaşam kalitesinin değerlendirilmesinin tedavi ve izlemde önemli olacağını düşünüyoruz. Bu çalışmanın amacı dört ana başlıkta toplanmıştır; doğuştan kalp hastalıklı çocukların kendisi ve ailesinden elde edilen fiziksel ve psikososyal yaşam kalitesi sonuçlarını sağlıklı çocuk ve ailelerinin sonuçlarıyla karşılaştırmak, doğuştan kalp hastalıklı çocukların kendisi ve ailesinden elde edilen fiziksel ve psikososyal yaşam kalitesi sonuçlarını belirlemek ve birbiriyle karşılaştırmak, doğuştan kalp hastalığının derecesi ile yaşam kalitesi skorlarının bağlantısını belirlemek ve doğuştan kalp hastalığı olan çocuklarda sosyoekonomik durum ile yaşam kalitesi skorunun ilişkisini belirlemektir.Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya toplam 381 çocuk dahil edilmiştir. Hasta grubuna Ocak 2015- Şubat 2016 tarihleri arasında Ankara Üniversitesi Çocuk Kardiyolojisi Polikliniği tarafından takipli 5-18 yaşları arasında olan doğuştan kalp hastalığı tanılı 181 çocuk ve ailesi dahil edildi. Kontrol grubuna aynı tarihler arasında Ankara Üniversitesi Çocuk Genel Polikliniğine başvuran ve yaşam kalitesini etkileyecek kronik bir hastalığı olmayan, sağlıklı, genel kontrol amacıyla başvurmuş 5-18 yaş arasındaki 200 çocuk ve aileleri alındı. Tüm çocuklara ve ebeveynlerine çalışma ayrıntılı olarak anlatılarak gönüllü onam formu imzalatıldı. Çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden çocukların ve ailelerin demografik bilgileri ve sosyoekonomik düzeyi hakkındaki bilgilerini içeren `Aile Bilgi Formu` aile tarafından dolduruldu. Bunun yanısıra çocuğun doğuştan kalp hastalığı ile ilgili bilgileri içeren `Hastalık Bilgi Formu` doktor tarafından hastanın dosyasındaki bilgilere göre dolduruldu. Ardından hastanın yaşına uygun ÇİYKÖ hasta ve ebeveyni tarafından ayrı ayrı dolduruldu. ÇİYKÖ skorları Ölçek Toplam Puanı(ÖTP), Fiziksel Sağlık Toplam Puanı(FSTP), Psikososyal Sağlık Toplam Puanı(PSTP) olarak hesaplandı. Gruplar arası karşılaştırmalar ve korelasyon analizleri yapıldı.Bulgular: Hasta ve kontrol grubunun sosyodemografik özelliklerine baktığımızda hasta grubunun ve kontrol grubunun yaş, cinsiyet ve eğitim durumu bakımından benzer gruplar olduğunu saptadık. Ailelerin sosyodemografik özelliklerinde ise hasta grubunun aile özelliklerinde, anne eğitim durumunun, baba eğitim durumunun, aylık gelirinin ve sosyoekonomik durumun sağlıklı kontrol grubuna göre daha düşük olduğunu gördük. Annelerin çalışma oranı sağlıklı kontrol grubunda daha yüksek oranda bulunmaktaydı. Hasta ve kontrol grubunun ÇİYKÖ skorlarına baktığımızda ise hasta grubunun özellikle 5-7 yaş grubunda en çok etkilenme olduğunu gördük. 5-7 yaş grubunda ÖTP, FSTP, PSTP, başkalarıyla geçinme skoru ve okul skoru hem çocuklarda hem de ebeveynlerde sağlıklı akranlarına göre daha düşük saptandı. 8-12 yaş grubunda ÖTP, FSTP, PSTP ve okul skoru hem çocuklarda hem de ebeveynlerde sağlıklı akranlarına göre daha düşük saptandı. 13-18 yaş grubunda ise hasta ve kontrol grubu arasında yaşam kalitesi açısından anlamlı fark saptanmadı. Hastaların yaşam kalitesini etkileyen hastalık özelliklere baktığımızda, hastalıkların ağırlığı arttığında ve siyanotik hastalıklarda yaşam kalitesinin daha düşük olduğunu saptadık. Hastalara uygulanan tedavilerin etkisine baktığımızda ise girişimsel tedavilerin yaşam kalitesini etkilemediğini fakat ilaç tedavisinin ve cerrahi işlemlerin yaşam kalitesini düşürdüğünü gördük. Tedavilerden ve hastalık özelliklerinden bağımsız olarak yapılan regresyon analizinde, yaşam kalitesini etkileyen faktörlere bakıldığında yaşam kalitesini en çok etkileyen faktörün hastanın eğitim durumu, ilaç kullanımı ve cinsiyeti olduğu görüldü.Sonuç: Doğuştan kalp hastalıkları en sık görülen doğuştan anomalilerdir, tüm doğuştan malformasyonların %28 kadarını oluştururlar ve önemli sağlık sorunlarına sebep olurlar. Tedavilerin etkisiyle sağ kalım süreleri uzamış olan bu hasta grubunda yaşam kalitesi, hastanın takibi açısından önemli bir parametre olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Literatürde farklı ülkelerde birçok çalışma yayınlanmış olup sonuçlar eğitim seviyesi, sosyoekonomik durumu, hastalığın ağırlığı ve tedavi şekillerine göre farklı sonuçlar göstermektedir. Literatürde ülkemizden yayınlanan herhangi bir çalışma bulunmamaktadır. Biz 381 çocuğu kapsayan çalışmamızın sonucunda DKH'lı çocukların 5-7 yaş ve 8-12 yaş grubunda sağlıklı akranlarına göre yaşam kalitesinin negatif etkilendiğini saptadık. Regresyon analizinde, çocuğun eğitim durumu, cinsiyeti ve ilaç kullanıyor olmasının ÇİYKÖ'yü etkileyen etkenler olduğunu gördük. Çalışmamız sonuçları literatürle karşılaştırıldığında; cinsiyetin FSTP üzerine etkisi bakımından literatürde cinsiyet farklılığı gözlenmezken, çalışmamız sonucunda hem ebeveyn hem de çocuk skorlarında erkek cinsiyetin puanlarının kız cinsiyete göre anlamlı daha yüksek olduğu görülmüştür. Bu farkın özellikle çalışmayı yapmış olduğumuz coğrafyanın sosyokültürel yapısına bağlı olarak geliştiğini düşünmekteyiz. Çocuk ve aile değerlendirmelerini karşılaştırdığımızda ise hasta çocuk ailelerinin almış olduğu puanların hasta çocuklardan FTSP ve başkalarıyla geçinme alanında bazı yaş gruplarında düşük olduğunu gördük. Hasta çocukların yaşam kalitelerini karşılaştırdığımızda ise siyanozun, hastalık ağırlığının artmasının, cerrahi tedavinin ve ilaç kullanımının yaşam kalitesini düşürdüğünü gördük. Bu bilgiler ışığında DKH'lı çocuklarda yaşam kalitesinin sağlıklı akranlarına göre daha düşük olduğunu ve hasta yaşı ilerledikçe bu farklılığın azaldığını saptadık. Hasta takibi yapılırken özellikle yaşam kalitesini düşüren risk faktörleri bulunan çocuklarda klinisyenin aile ile yakın ilişkide olması gerektiğini ve çocuğun yaşam kalitesi düşük alanlarının saptanarak destek olunmasında kilit göreve sahip olduğu sonucuna vardık. Aims: Thousands of babies are born with congenital heart defects each year and - thanks to significant improvements in the medical and surgical management of these defects, these babies now have a better chance of survival. These better outcomes push clinicians to focus simultaneously on some other features of treatment than survival– such as the patients' quality of life (QoL). It is not a routine practice to assess QoL in a patient with congenital heart disease in Turkey and we believe that such an assessment would improve those patients overall management. In this study, we aimed to (i) determine the physical and psychosocial QoL in both patients with CHD and their families, (ii) compare these QoL results of CHD patients and their families with the results of healthy children and their families, (iii) assess whether there is any correlation between the severity of CHD and QoL scores, and (iv) assess the association of socioeconomic status with QoL in children with CHD.Materials and Methods: The patient group consisted of 181 children between 5-18 years of age, who had been followed up by Ankara University pediatric cardiology outpatient unit from January 2015 to February 2016, with a diagnosis of CHD and their families. The control group included 200 healthy children between 5-18 years of age and their families, who had applied for their routine control during the same period of time to general pediatrics outpatient and had no chronic/systemic disease that would have an impact on QoL. The children and their families were informed about the study design in detail and written consent was taken from all participants. Demographic and socioeconomic data were obtained through questionnaires filled out by the families themselves. The medical records of CHD patients were extracted from patient charts. QoL assessments were carried out by using age-appropriate The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) 4.0 Generic Core Scales which were filled out by the children and their parents separately. PEDSQL scores were calculated as total score, physical health score, psychosocial health score, emotional functioning score, social functioning score and school functioning score. Statistical comparisons and correlation analysis were made between groups.Results: The patient and control groups were similar for age, sex and education levels. The patient group had poorer levels of monthly income and lower parental education levels compared to controls. The control group had a higher rate of working mothers. The highest impact on QoL was noted in the 5-7 years age group in CHD patients and their families, who had lower total score, physical health, psychosocial health, social functioning and school functioning compared to healthy controls and their families. In the 13-18 years age group, there was no difference in QoL scores between the patients and the controls. The features of CHD that predicted a lower QoL were the severity of cardiac disease and the presence of cyanosis. While interventional therapies had no impact on QoL, medical and surgical treatments received for CHD led to a lower QoL. A regression analysis, controlling for disease and treatment features, revealed that the patient's education level, medical treatments and sex were independently associated with QoL.Conclusions: CHD is the most frequently encountered birth defect, which comprises 28% of all congenital anomalies. Now that we have better rates of survival with improved therapies, QoL arises as an important part of management that should be addressed. Studies from different populations in the literature report inconsistent results due to differences in educational levels, socioeconomic status, disease severity and treatment modalities. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study evaluating QoL in children with CHD in Turkish population. In this study including 381 children, we found that children with CHD in the age range of 5-7 and 8-12 years had lower QoL compared to healthy children in the same age groups. The child's level of education, sex and use of medication were independently associated with PEDSQL in the regression analysis. While the reports in the literature found no association between sex and physical health, we had found that males and their families had significantly higher scores than females and their families. We attributed that contrast to the differences in sociocultural factors of the population studied. When children with CHD and their proxy assesments were compared, we found that physical health scores and social functioning scores of proxy assesments were lower than children assesments at certain age groups. Factors associated with a lower QoL in the patient group were presence of cyanosis, the severity of heart disease, the presence of surgical and medical treatments. In conclusion, we found that children with CHD have a lower QoL compared to healthy children of the same age and that gap in QoL scores between these two groups closes as child grows up and age increases. We believe that clinicians play a key role in improving QoL in those patients, with a focus on identifying QoL-lowering risk factors and providing the family with the necessary support and close contact. 132

Objectives: the aim of this study is to identify the epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory features of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in children.Methods: a retrospective study was conducted by pediatric infectious disease specialists from 32 different hospitals from all over Turkey by case record forms. Pediatric cases who were diagnosed as COVID-19 between March 16, 2020, and June 15, 2020 were included. Case characteristics including age, sex, dates of disease onset and diagnosis, family, and contact information were recorded. Clinical data, including the duration and severity of symptoms, were also collected. Laboratory parameters like biochemical tests and complete blood count, chest X-ray, and chest computed tomography (CT) were determined. Results: there were 1,156 confirmed pediatric COVID-19 cases. In total, male cases constituted 50.3% (n = 582) and females constituted 49.7% (n = 574). The median age of the confirmed cases was 10.75 years (4.5-14.6). Of the total cases, 90 were younger than 1 year of age (7.8%), 108 were 1-3 years of age (9.3%), 148 were 3-6 years of age (12.8%), 298 were 6-12 years of age (25.8%), 233 were 12-15 years of age (20.2%), and 268 cases were older than 15 years of age (23.2%). The most common symptom of the patients at the first visit was fever (50.4%) (n = 583) for a median of 2 days (IQR: 1-3 days). Fever was median at 38.4 degrees C (38.0-38.7 degrees C). The second most common symptom was cough (n = 543, 46.9%). The other common symptoms were sore throat (n = 143, 12.4%), myalgia (n = 141, 12.2%), dyspnea (n = 118, 10.2%), diarrhea (n = 112, 9.7%), stomachache (n = 71, 6.1%), and nasal discharge (n = 63, 5.4%). When patients were classified according to disease severity, 263 (22.7%) patients were asymptomatic, 668 (57.7%) patients had mild disease, 209 (18.1%) had moderate disease, and 16 (1.5%) cases had severe disease. One hundred and forty-nine (12.9%) cases had underlying diseases among the total cases; 56% of the patients who had severe disease had an underlying condition (p < 0.01). The need for hospitalization did not differ between patients who had an underlying condition and those who do not have (p = 0.38), but the need for intensive care was higher in patients who had an underlying condition (p < 0.01). Forty-seven (31.5%) of the cases having underlying conditions had asthma or lung disease (38 of them had asthma). Conclusions: to the best of our knowledge, this is one of the largest pediatric data about confirmed COVID-19 cases. Children from all ages appear to be susceptible to COVID-19, and there is a significant difference in symptomatology and laboratory findings by means of age distribution., NA

- Abstract
Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to present our 10-year IA experience at a single center. Fifty-nine pediatric patients with IA were included in this study. The male-to-female ratio was 42/17. The median age was 8.75 years. Hematologic malignancy was present in the majority of the patients (40/59, 68%). The mean neutropenia duration was 18.5 days. Cytosine arabinoside was the most common immunosuppressive therapy directed at T cells during IA diagnosis. IA cases were categorized as proven (27%), probable (51%), or possible (22%) according to the 2008 European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer/Invasive Fungal Infections Cooperative Group and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Mycoses Study Group (EORTC/MSG) criteria. The lungs (78%) were the most common site of IA, and nodules were the most frequent radiological findings (75.5%). In 38 patients (64.4%) receiving antifungal prophylaxis, prophylactic agents included fluconazole (30.5%), liposomal amphotericin B (23.7%), posaconazole (8.5%), and voriconazole (1.7%). Initial treatment was most commonly administered as monotherapy (69.5%). The median antifungal treatment duration was 67 days. Eleven deaths (18.6%) were due to aspergillosis. With the increased use of corticosteroids, biological agents, and intensive immunosuppressive chemotherapy, IA will most likely continue to occur frequently in pediatric patients.

- Abstract
The current study aimed to investigate the clinical, laboratory and radiological findings of the pneumonia cases in children that were confirmed as M.pneumoniae by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing and to reveal the factors that can be decisive in the diagnosis. Seventy-seven children were included in this study. The median age of the patients was 31 months (1 month-17 years 4 months). The 63.6% of the patients were younger than five years of age, 53.2% were girls and 46.8% were boys. During the eight-year research period, the frequency of M.pneumoniae in the patients hospitalized with the diagnosis of pneumonia was found to be 3.1%. The rate of M.pneumoniae as the underlying factor of pneumonia was found to be statistically significantly lower in patients aged 0-60 months compared to the patients aged 61-216 months. In patients with M.pneumoniae accompanied by viruses, the age group was more likely to between 0-60 months. The most common symptoms were cough (96.1%) and fever (74%). Physical examinations revealed that 70.1% of the patients had rales, 63.6% had tachypnea, 45.5% had oropharyngeal hyperaemia, 35.1% had subcostal-intercostal retraction, 31.2% had long expiration period, 26% had rhonchus, 24.7% had decrease in breath sounds, 15.6% had cervical lymphadenopathy, 13% had tachycardia, 3.9% had otitis media, 3.9% had tonsil hypertrophy and 2.6% had a maculopapular rash. The rate of hypoxemia was found to be 42.2%. When the physical examination findings of patients with only M.pneumoniae detected in multiplex PCR analysis and those with accompanying viruses in M.pneumoniae were compared, tachypnea, oropharyngeal hyperemia and decreased breath sounds were found to be statistically significantly higher in patients with M.pneumoniae only. Retraction was detected more frequently in patients with accompanying viruses. When the laboratory results of the patients were evaluated according to age, leukocytosis was detected in only 18.2% of the patients, while the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were found to be high in 75% and 85.7% of the patients, respectively. In the multiplex PCR analysis, the CRP values of the patients with only M.pneumoniae were found to be higher than the patients with accompanying viruses. M.pneumoniae was accompanied by viruses at the rate of 40.3%. The most common accompanying viruses were rhinovirus, adenovirus, bocavirus and metapneumovirus. The 55.8% of the patients had lobar-segmental consolidation, 46.8% had parahilar-peribronchial thickening, 18.2% had atelectasis, 11.7% had pleural effusion, 9.1% had increase in reticulonodular density, 6.5% had lymphadenopathy whereas no abnormality was observed in 5.2% of them. No diffuse interstitial involvement was recorded. The CRP value of the patients who had lobar segmental consolidation which was detected through chest X-rays were statistically higher than those without consolidation. In multiplex PCR analysis, the rate of parahilar-peribronchial thickening detected in chest X-ray findings was found to be higher in patients with M.pneumoniae accompanied by viruses compared to those with only M.pneumoniae. The rate of the patients who were given empirical antibiotics against atypical agents was 45.5%. The rate of empirically administered antibiotic treatment for atypical agents after being hospitalization was higher in patients diagnosed with only M.pneumoniae compared to patients with M.pneumoniae and viruses. One patient (1.3%) died. As there are no typical clinical, laboratory or radiological findings specific to M.pneumoniae pneumonia, all of the findings should be assessed as a whole to establish a diagnosis. Besides, for the detection of M.pneumoniae, diagnostic tests which are cost effective, with rapid results and are capable of distinguishing colonisation from active infection should be developed.
