Abstract
To determine whether children have persistent abnormalities in cellular and humoral immunity development after acute Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, serum immunoglobulin G (IgG), IgA, IgM, and IgE levels and lymphocyte phenotypes were determined. There were no changes in the levels of IgG, IgM, IgA, or CD4+ or CD19+ lymphocytes that were measured in M. pneumoniae-positive patients after 3 months or after 12 months, but there were increases in these in M. pneumoniae-negative patients. Serum IgE increased in M. pneumoniae-positive patients. We have shown alterations in immunity development after M. pneumoniae infection.Entities:
