【Objective】In this study, mice were used as animal models to analyze the characteristics of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection(MPI)and to compare and analyze the evaluation criteria of lesions, aiming to provide a reference for the development of a unified evaluation method for MPI.【Method】BALB/c mice were infected with the M. pneumoniae M129 strain at a concentration of 5×107 CCU twice via nasal drip. After 14 d, the weight, gross lung lesions, pathological changes of lung tissue and two quantitative analysis methods, pathogenic load of lung tissue, T lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood and the expressions of IL-6 in serum were detected. The infection characteristics of M. pneumoniae were analyzed and the evaluation criteria of lesions were compared and analyzed.【Result】After 14 d of infection with M129 strain, the level of IL-6 in BALB/c mice serum increased; significant consolidation occurred in the lungs, a large number of neutrophil infiltrates were observed in lung tissue sections, and alveolar septal thickening was observed. Two methods were used to compare the degree of lung lesions in lung pathological sections, and it was found that the pathological scoring system for lung injury proposed by the American Thoracic Society (ATS) reflected lung lesions more finely and objectively than the 26-score method. Infection led to the development of inflammatory responses in mice and eventually caused a significant reduction in mice body weight. On the other hand, the results of lung pathogen load showed that the lung pathogen load of mice infected with M129 strain was very low after 14 d. Flow cytometry analysis of T cell subsets showed that the body produced immunity biased towards CD4+ T cells, suggesting that M. pneumoniae infection and body immunity play a mutual game, and the body's immune response may gradually clear the lung pathogen.【Conclusion】M. pneumoniae causes systemic inflammation via nasal drip in BALB/c mice. ATS lung injury pathology scoring system is more precise and objective than the 26-score method for the evaluation of lung tissue lesions, which is conducive to the comparative analysis of different studies.
