Abstract

【Objective】To study the therapeutic role of moxifloxacin in adult mycoplasma pneumonia.【Methods】The 20 case of adult mycoplasma pneumonia patient treated with moxifloxacin were retrospective reviewed,the therapeutic effect of moxifloxacin was investigated through the change of patient body temperature and thoracic CT scan.【Results】①On admission,the average body temperature of patients were: 38.50±0.86℃,on the 3 and 5 day after treatment with moxifloxacin,the average body temperature were 37.18±0.61℃ and 36.77±0.35℃ respectively,they were significantly decreased compare with the day of admission,respectively(P0.001, respectively).The temperature were also significantly decreased on the 5 day compare with the 3 day after treatment(P0.01).②The average stay were 13.56±3.96 days.③Therapeutic effect on thoracic CT imaging change in 13 patients: fully recovery were 5 cases(5/13),excellence were 6 cases(6/13),improvement were 2 cases(2/13) and inefficacy was 0.【Conclusion】It have better therapeutic effect in control the body temperature and thoracic CT imaging change that moxifloxacin inject to adult mycoplasma pneumonia patient via vein.
