Abstract：The incidence of severe and refractory cases of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia(MPP)has been increasing,with immune impairment playing a critical role in its pathogenesis.Inflammatory indices,calculated from routine blood parameters,are a set of combined indicators that reflect systemic inflammation and show promise in the diagnosis and evaluation of MPP.Among these,the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio has been consistently recognized for its value in predicting disease severity,complications,and prognosis.Other inflammatory indices,such as the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio,platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio,and systemic immunoinflammatory index,also demonstrate clinical significance.This review provides a concise overview of the immune impairment mechanisms in MPP and highlights the potential applications of inflammatory indices,aiming to offer valuable insights for the early diagnosis and assessment of MPP.
