Abstract
Objective To investigate the changes and significance of platelet parameters and leucocyte in the children suffered from mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP).Methods The platelet parameters (PLT),the platelet volume(MPV),the platelet distribution width (PDW),and the white blood cell count(WBC) were detected by automatic blood cell analyzer respectively in 300 children with MPP before and after the treatment by macrolides antibiotics for a week as well as in 40 normal children.The comparison was made among them.Results There were 156 cases that suffered from thrombocytosis (PLT ＞ 300 × 109/L) in MPP group,the incidence rate was 52.0％(156/300).While there was 1 case with thrombocytopenia,the incidence rate was 0.3％ (1/300).The WBC,MPV and PDW in MPP group before and after one-week treatment were higher than the control group.And the PLT was higher than the initial stage of hospitalization and the control group.The differences had statistical significance.Conclusion The incidence rate of thrombocytosis was high in the children suffered from MPP.The dynamic observation of platelet parameters and WBC in children with MPP could be used as the elementary basis of judging MP infection.
