ObjectivesTo prospectively evaluate prednisolone treatment in children with refractory Mycoplasma pneumonia pneumonia (MPP).MethodsFifty-eight refractory children with MPP were enrolled to receive either azithromycin combined with prednisolone (treatment group, n=28) or azithromycin alone (control group, n=30). Temperature, respiratory symptoms and signs were examined at the time of study entry and every 8hr after enrollment, infiltration absorption, atelectasis resolution, pleural effusion disappearance, and serum ferritin and LDH levels were assessed on seventh day after enrollment.ResultsAll patients in treatment group achieved defervescence during 8-48hr after enrollment versus no patient in the control group. The mean duration of hypoxemia was 1.90.9 days in treatment group and 2.7 +/- 1.1 days in the control group (P
