Abstract：Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia(MPP)is the most common type among community-acquired pneumonia in children in China.In recent years,the incidence of severe Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia(SMPP)and refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia(RMPP)has gradually increased.Imaging plays an important role in assessing the severity and prognosis of MPP.MPP imaging shows various manifestations,mainly including thickening of bronchial walls,thickening and increasing of textures around bronchial vessels,pulmonary consolidation,bronchiolitis,tree bud sign,tree mist sign,pulmonarynecrosis,pulmonary artery embolism,etc.This article aims to summarize the relationship between different imaging manifestations and prognosis of MPP based on current research progress,in order to provide assistance to pediatricians in early identification and treatment of SMPP and RMPP children,and reduce the occurrence of adverse prognosis in children.
