Epidemiological characteristics of severe community-acquired pneumonia in children admitted to two tertiary hospitals in Shihezi, Xinjiang Region, China in 2023: a cross-sectional analysis
The most common pathogens responsible for SCAP in the Shihezi region in 2023 were MP, RSV, and SP. MP was the primary cause of SCAP in children, and increased risk of co-infections, and high prevalence of macrolides resistance-all related to mutations at the A2063G site. Early identification of SCAP pathogen epidemiological characteristics can reduce severe case occurrence.
