Abstract

Mycoplasma Pneumoniae (MP) is the primary pathogen of acquired pneumonia in children, accounting for approximately 5%-30% of all acquired pneumonia pathogens in pediatric populations. Its transmission routes are primarily droplet transmission and direct contact with the pathogen. The incubation period ranges from 7 to 21 days, during which the pathogen remains infectious until symptom resolution, which may take several weeks. In recent years, refractory and macrolide-resistant Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections have become increasingly prevalent. The nursing philosophy for pediatric Mycoplasma Pneumonia (MPP) has evolved from traditional symptomatic support to a more refined, evidence-based, individualized, and comprehensive approach. This article systematically reviews the optimization and upgrading of core nursing measures, provides an in-depth analysis of research hotspots and latest advancements in critical early warning, medication management, complication control, nutritional and psychological support, and continuous care, summarizes the key characteristics of current nursing models, and outlines future development directions, offering reference for clinical nursing practice.
