Abstract：Objective To analyze detection condition of special IgM antibodies of children with acute respiratory infection (ARI) in order to provide reference for early diagnosis and therapy of ARI children in Shijiazhuang area.Methods Serum specific IgM antibodies of respiratory pathogens, which included legionella pneumophila (LPN), mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP), Q fever rickettsia burneti (COX), chlamydia pneumoniae (CPN), adenovirus (ADV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza virus A (IVA), influenza virus B (IVB) and parainfluenze virus (PIV), were detected for 1928 patients with ARI.Conditions of pathogen infection in different ages and seasons were compared.Results Among the pathogens, the highest detection rate was MP, and then followed by IVB and PIV.Compared with those in children with >3-≤6 years old group, the MP positive rate in children with ≤3 years old group and IVB and PIV positive rates in children with ≤3 years old group and >3-≤6 years old group were significantly decreased.The highest positive rate of special IgM antibody infection was in the winter, and MP positive rate in the winter was significantly higher than those in the spring and summer (P<0.05), while IVB positive rate in the winter was significantly higher than those in the summer and autumn (P<0.01), and PIV positive rate in the autumn was significantly higher than those in the spring and winter (P<0.01).Conclusion MP, IVB and PIV infection are the main respiratory pathogens of ARI children in Shijiazhuang area, and pathogens in different ages and seasons have significantly different characteristics.
