The contents of complements, immunoglobulins and inflammatory stress mediators in serum as well as the expression of inflammatory stress molecules in peripheral blood were measured.Results: Serum C3, C4, IgM, sICAM-1, CD40L, HMGB1, Cor and MDA levels as well as peripheral blood TLR2, TLR4, CD11b, CD18, MPO and NOX2 expression intensity of MPP group were significantly higher than those of control group, IgA level was significantly lower than that of control group, and IgG level was not different from that of control group;serum C3, C4 and IgM levels of MPP group were positively correlated with serum sICAM-1, CD40L, HMGB1, Cor and MDA levels as well as peripheral blood TLR2, TLR4, CD11b, CD18, MPO and NOX2 expression intensity, and serum IgA level was negatively correlated with serum sICAM-1, CD40L, HMGB1, Cor and MDA levels as well as peripheral blood TLR2, TLR4, CD11b, CD18, MPO and NOX2 expression intensity. Conclusion: The changes of serum complements and immunoglobulins in children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia are related to the excessive activation of inflammatory stress response in the course of disease.展开更多
