Patient's question:
My wife went to the hospital yesterday for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. What are the possible causes of this disease?Doctor's answer:
If a patient has symptoms such as cough, low-grade fever, headache, nausea, and dry vomiting, and similar symptoms reappear in the family, it is considered possible that it is Mycoplasma pneumoniae. In this case, it is necessary to improve the careful examination of Mycoplasma antibodies. If the Mycoplasma antibody levels change to below four in the near future, it can be believed that Mycoplasma pneumoniae can be diagnosed. After the recurrence of Mycoplasma pneumoniae, it is necessary to implement antiviral treatment. Proper isolation should be taken to prevent transmission to others. Mycoplasma pneumoniae usually heals well and will not cause any interference with daily life. If clinical symptoms reappear, active diagnosis and treatment should be implemented to prevent complications and the risk of the patient's life.
