Comparison of Efficacy and Safety of Dexamethasone Versus Methylprednisolone in the Treatment ofChildren with Refractory Mycoplasma Pneumoniae Pneumonia
Objective: To observe the difference of clinical efficacy and safety of dexamethasone vs. methylprednisolone in the treatment of children with refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (RMPP). Methods: A total of 128 children with RMPP were randomly divided into group A (n =63) and group B (n =65). On the basis of conventional treatment
group A was given dexamethasone 0. 35 mg/ (kg·d)
intravenously once a day
and group B was given methylprednisolone 2 mg/ (kg·d)
2 times a day for intravenous drip. Two groups were both treated for 5 days. The clinical efficacy
improvement of clinical symptoms
plasma myocardial enzyme profile such as creatine kinase (CK)
creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB)
lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)
serum inflammatory factors such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)
interleukin-6 (IL-6)
and gamma-interferon (IFN-γ) and adverse drug reactions between the two groups were compared. Results: The total effective rate in group B was 86. 15%
which was higher than that in group A (71. 43%) (P< 0. 05). Time that symptoms disappeared of group B was much shorter than that in group A
such as fever (4. 55 ±1. 05) d vs. (5. 24± 1. 12) d
cough (6. 67±1. 12) d vs. (7. 23±1. 57) d
lung rales (10.76±1.47) d vs. (11.63±2.52) d and X-ray lung shadow (7.97± 1. 03) d vs. (8. 43±1. 26) d
and the differences were all statistically significant (all P<0. 05). After treatment
the levels of CK
CK-MB
LDH
TNF-α
IL-6 and IFN-γ of the two groups were all decreased compared with before treatment (P <0. 05)
and the decrease in group B was more significant than that in group A (P<0. 05). The incidence of adverse drug reactions in group A was 22. 22%
which was higher than 9. 23% in group B (P<0. 05). Conclusion: The results of this study show that methylprednisolone is better than dexamethasone in clinical efficacy and safety in children with RMPP.
