    ObjectivesTo investigate the clinical efficacy of budesonide suspension through bronchofiberscopic lavage in the treatment of refractory mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia.(RMPP).MethodsA total of 108 children with refractory mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia from June 2018 to October 2020 were randomly divided into two groups: the study group and the control group, with 54 cases in each group. Children in the control group were treated with anti-infective, antitussive, antipyretic routine symptomatic treatment and nebulization of budesonide suspension, while children in the study group were treated with bronchofiberscopic lavage with Budesonide suspension along with standard treatment as in control group. The clinical efficacy, changes in blood gas analysis indexes, levels of inflammatory mediators, time for improvement of clinical symptoms and the incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.ResultsThe efficacy of treatment in the study group was 85.19%, which was higher than 66.67% in the control group (P<0.05). The antipyretic time, antitussive time, lung rales disappearance time and length of hospital stay in the study group were shorter than those in the control group (P<0.05). Moreover, the levels of arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2) in the study group were higher than those in the control group, while the levels of partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) and arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) in the study group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The levels of inflammatory mediators interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-4 (IL-4), and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) in the study group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05), and no significant difference was found in the comparison of the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (P>0.05).ConclusionsBudesonide suspension combined with bronchofiberscopic lavage with Budesonide suspension is a safe treatment regimen that can significantly improve the clinical outcome in children with RMPP. With such a combined treatment regimen, the clinical symptoms of children can be ameliorated, the ventilation function can be enhanced, and the level of inflammatory mediators will be reduced.Copyright: © Pakistan Journal of Medical Sciences.
