Abstract: 〔Abstract〕Objective: To screen the cases with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia （MPP）in patients with community-acquired
pneumonia （CAP） by using quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction （qPCR）, and to describe clinical, demographic,
laboratory and imaging characteristics of MPP. Methods: A total of 182 patients with CAP who were admitted to Dali Teaching
Hospital of Dali University（the First People's Hospital of Dali）from August 2017 to February 2018 were selected. The respiratory
specimens of above subjects were detected by qPCR according to primers for RepMP1 gene, and the clinical data of those 182 patients
were collected. Results: Positive MPP was detected in 12 cases. By analyzing the clinical data of these patients, we found that the
common symptom of these patients was fever, and their C reactive proteins were higher than non-MPP patients. Conclusion: The
qPCR can be applied to the detection of MPP. In addition, the C reactive proteins of MPP patients are higher than non-MPP patients,
which can provide some references for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
