Objective
The aim is to look at the rate of macrolide resistance in a group of
children admitted with mycoplasma pneumonia at a local hospital and to
compare and analyze clinical features of macrolide-resistantMycoplasma pneumoniae (MRMP) and macrolide-sensitiveMycoplasma pneumoniae (MSMP) to facilitate early recognition of
likely resistance and to guide the choice of appropriate antibiotics for
treatment.
