Children with pneumonia and large chest shadows were included in this study. The differences in characteristics between patients with plastic bronchitis and those without plastic bronchitis were analysed. The distribution of pathogens was statistically analysed.

The patients were divided into two groups: the PB group (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200948) and the non-PB group (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009137). The duration of illness before hospitalization in the PB group was mostly longer than that in the non-PB group. The frequency distribution of the inspiratory three concave signs in the PB group was significantly greater than that in the non-PB group. Compared with those in the non-PB group, the number of patients with abnormally elevated of D-D dimer, LDH, ALT, and AST in the PB group was significantly greater.\n                      <jats:italic>Mycoplasma pneumoniae<\/jats:italic>\n                      (MP) was the main pathogen observed in both the PB and non-PB groups. In cases of MP infection without plastic bronchitis, treatment with macrolide antibiotics occurred significantly earlier. Most cases of pleural effusion in the PB-MP group were discovered more than 7\u00a0days after onset. However, in the PB-nonMP group, most cases of pleural effusion were detected within 7\u00a0days of onset. There was a difference observed in the distribution of pulmonary necrosis between the PB group and the non-PB group.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>MP is a common pathogen observed in PB cases caused by single-pathogen infections and multiple-pathogen infections.
