Antibodies to Mycoplasma pneumoniae were detected by ELISA in 60 children. Raising antibodies indicated more than 4 times. Conducted clinical observations, X-ray methods, the method of ELISA for the detection of IgM antibodies to Mycoplasma pneumoniae, DNA display M. pneumoniae in sputum by PCR. Results Mycoplasmal pneumonia began sharply at 80% of children with high fever, cough was dry and unproductive. Outpatient treatment starting antibiotics penicillin group did not give the effect. Pyrexia over 38°C was observed in 95% of children. On radiographic studies, the bilateral homogeneous lobular infiltration revealed in the lungs at the majority of children (75%).
