Kudelová, Michaela ; Vejsová, Marcela (advisor) ; Ryšková, Olga (referee)
Objective: The work investigated occurrence of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections in east - Czech region in years 2005 - 2007. Patients: The sera obtained from 6965 patients in all ages that were cure in hospital in Hradec Kralove. The patients' sera examined by serological method which is called ELISA.

Children 5 - 14 years old (46,1 %) and adolescents to 25 years old (31,9 %) were most frequent patients. We observed complications in 13,9 % cases, the most frequent were neurological complications (meningitis and neuropathy) and gastro - intestinal complications (diarrhoea, nausea and hepatitis).
