Filter by:To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of compound probiotic in shortening the course of illness in children with mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia, in comparison with placebo.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no active drug) with a commonly used antibiotic in children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae (a specific bacterium) induced community-acquired pneumonia. The main question it aims to answer is: Is antibiotic treatment needed in Mycoplasma pneumoniae (a specific bacterium) induced pneumonia? Participants will receive either a placebo or a antibiotic treatment and track their symptoms and vital signs until they are healthy. Researchers will then compare the length of symptoms between the placebo and the antibiotic group.
Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia in children is one of the major diseases in children's respiratory department in China, but there are still large clinical unmet needs.
Mycoplasma pneumoniae is one of the most common causes of community-acquired pneumonia in children. The clinical course is typically self-limited and benign; however, rare cases of severe pneumonia can develop despite appropriate antibiotic therapy. The investigators aim to study the effects of prednisolone on severe M. pneumoniae pneumonia with lobar consolidation or pleural effusion in children.
The study is designed to investigate difference in percentage of presentation of atelectasis, bronchiectasis, bronchiolitis obliterans, or consolidation in 6 months after discharge in those treated with a low dose regimen of methylprednisolone initiated with 2 or 4 mg/kg/d for 3 days followed by tapering, combined with sequential treatment with azithromycin versus a high dose regimen of methylprednisolone initiated with 10 mg/kg/d for 3 days followed by tapering, combined with sequential treatment with azithromycin.
