Abstract：Complications such as bronchial sputum obstruction,plastic bronchitis,bronchiectasis and atelectasis may occur in children with severe mycoplasma pneumonia.Bronchoalveolar lavage therapy is beneficial to clear the above lesions,improve symptoms,promote imaging recovery,shorten the course of disease and improve prognosis.Simultaneously,the detection of pathogens in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid is of great help to identify pathogens.Severely ill children with bronchial obstruction and plastic bronchitis should be treated with bronchoalveolar lavage as soon as possible.Due to the poor tolerance of bronchoscopy in children,it is suggested that it should be carried out under general anesthesia.
