Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics and risk factors for pneumonia in children co-infected with influenza A virus (IAV) and Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP).
Methods: Children who were diagnosed with IAV and MP infection between January and December, 2023 were enrolled and divided into a non-pneumonia group and a pneumonia group. Univariate analysis and logistic regression analysis were used to evaluate each index, and the risk factors for pneumonia caused by coinfection in the two groups were explored.
Results: A total of 209 patients were enrolled, of which 107 and 102 patients were in the pneumonia and non-pneumonia groups, respectively. The patients in the pneumonia group were older and had a longer duration of fever (P < 0.05). Univariate analysis revealed that the median age, duration of fever, and CD3[SUP]+[/SUP], CD4[SUP]+[/SUP], CD8[SUP]+[/SUP] and IL-10 levels were significantly correlated with pneumonia (P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the median age, duration of fever, and CD4[SUP]+[/SUP], CD8[SUP]+[/SUP] and IL-10 levels were independent risk factors for pneumonia. Area under the curve of the five combined indicators in the ROC (receiver operator characteristic) analysis was 0.883, was higher than single factor.
Conclusion: Children with IAV and MP infection whose age older than 6.08 years, had a fever longer than 4 days, had a CD4[SUP]+[/SUP] count < 22.12%, had a CD8[SUP]+[/SUP] count < 35.21%, had an IL-10 concentration > 22.08 ng/ml were more likely to develop pneumonia.
