Objective To study the clinical characteristics of severe Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) in children， and to provide a basis for diagnosis and treatment. Methods Retrospective analysis was performed on the epidemiological and clinical data of the children who were hospitalized due to severe MPP from January 2014 to December 2015 in the hospital. Results Among the 110 children who were hospitalized due to severe MPP， 43 cases were between 0 and 1 years old， 39 cases >13 years old， 18 cases >35 years old and 10 cases >5 years old. The incidence of MPP varied with the seasons and was significantly highest in summer. With the growing of ages， the proportion of children with cough， with rale all decreased，the proportion of pulmonary complications（including lung abscess， hydrothorax，emphysema and pneumothorax） and pathological change of right lung both increased（P＜0.05）.White blood cell count (WBC) differed significantly among four groups （P＜0.05）. Creactive protein(CRP) and lactate dehydrogenase increased， but there were no statistical significance among different groups. A total of 110 patients were tested for other respiratory etiology， and coinfection was diagnosed in a total of 52 cases(47.3%). EB virus was the most common(23 cases，20.9%)， followed by cytomegalovirus (18 cases，16.4%). The coinfection features of severe MPP were different among children of different ages. The therapeutic effects of antibacterial agents， glucocorticoid and intravenous immunoglobulin in treating 110 severe MPP were positive. Conclusion Severe MPP is sporadic throughout the whole year， with a higher incidence in summer. The clinical features of severe MPP are different among children of different ages， and there are mixed infections of MPP and respiratory viruses. CRP and lactate dehydrogenase were significantly higher in children of severe MPP. Early recognition and combined treatment can reduce the occurrence of sequelae.

Objective To evaluate the value of interferongamma release assay(IGRA) in diagnosis of tuberculosis. Methods The study recruited 130 cases of active tuberculosis clinically proved from Beijing Chest Hospital， and 89 cases of old healed tuberculosis and 137 cases of nonTB patients from Beijing Haidian Hospital. TSPOT.TB test and fluorescence staining before antituberculosis therapy were performed in all patients．According to the result of the fluorescence staining， the patients with tuberculosis were divided into positive group and negative group. According to the age， the patients were divided into younger group and elderly group. The diagnostic performance of TSPOT.TB was compared.Results The sensitivity of the tuberculosis from TSPOT.TB diagnosis was 82.307％， the specificity was 75.182％. The positive rates of TSPOT.TB among pulmonary tuberculosis， old healed tuberculosis and nonTB patients were significantly different (χ2=7.580，P=0.032). The positive rate of TSPOT.TB in old healed tuberculosis was significantly higher than that of nonTB patients. The sensitivity of pulmonary tuberculosis was 86.60％， the specificity of TSPOT.TB was 75.0%， the sensitivity of the fluorescence staining was 65.17％， the specificity of the fluorescence staining was 98.33%. The comparison between the two results had remarkable statistical significance（P<0.001）. The sensitivity of the younger group was obviously higher than that of the elder group (χ2=4.782，P=0.029). Conclusion TSPOT.TB is more quick and convenient. It also has a higher sensitivity and negative predicted value. TSPOT.TB is a more valuable auxiliary diagnosis to younger patients. It can be used in the diagnosis of smear negative pulmonary tuberculosis patients and is not recommended in identifying old healed tuberculosis and active tuberculosis.
