To investigate the usefulness of quenching probe polymerase chain reaction (Q-probe PCR) for the detection of macrolide-resistant Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP), we retrospectively analyzed the clinical course of 21 children with MP infection. The rate of macrolide-resistant MP was 66.7%. The duration of pyrexia after the initial antibiotic treatment was longer in patients with macrolide-resistant MP infection than in those with macrolide-sensitive MP infection. The duration of pyrexia after Q-probe PCR was not significantly different between patients with macrolide-resistant and -sensitive MP infection. Antibiotic use based on qPCR may reduce the duration of pyrexia. Q-probe PCR is useful in determining the appropriate antibiotics and improves the clinical course of MP infections.
