Establishment of a Mouse Model of -Induced Plastic Bronchitis.

Plastic bronchitis (PB) constitutes a life-threatening pulmonary disorder, predominantly attributed to (MP) infection. The pathogenic mechanisms involved remain largely unexplored, leading to the absence of reliable approaches for early diagnosis and clear treatment. Thus, the present investigation aimed to develop an MP-induced mouse model of PB, thereby enhancing our understanding of this complex condition.

Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia-associated thromboembolism with plastic bronchitis: a series of five case reports and literature review.

Background: Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia is a common respiratory infection among children. However, the occurrence of thromboembolism with plastic bronchitis in association with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia is extremely rare. This case series presents five cases of children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia who developed thromboembolism and plastic bronchitis.

Development and validation of a nomogram for predicting severe respiratory syncytial virus-associated bronchiolitis.

Background: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common cause of bronchiolitis and is related to the severity of the disease. This study aimed to develop and validate a nomogram for predicting severe bronchiolitis in infants and young children with RSV infection.

Methods: A total of 325 children with RSV-associated bronchiolitis were enrolled, including 125 severe cases and 200 mild cases.
