摘要：

Objective To describe the characteristics ofLophomonas blattaruminfection in children based on a retrospective review of medical records data from Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University, China. Methods This study included 53 cases from July 2014 through December 2016. The data were tabulated and statistically analysed in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and SPSS 17.0. Results The average age of the 53 patients was 7.10 +/- 0.56 years, and the male/female ratio was 3:2.3. The most common clinical manifestation was cough, and almost half of the patients had fever. Furthermore, all patients were treated with metronidazole and recovered. Conclusions For children who have had long-term respiratory symptoms, the possibility ofLophomonas blattaruminfection should be ruled out. Metronidazole is effective in treatingL. blattaruminfection in children.
