Patient's question:
My friend's baby is two years old. They were quite healthy, but recently, they suddenly had a fever, swollen lymph nodes, and some edema in their bones. They suspect it might be Kawasaki disease, but my friend doesn't understand these conditions and doesn't know what's going on. They are hesitant to make a definitive conclusion and want to ask how Kawasaki disease is diagnosed.Doctor's answer:
The child has developed Mycoplasma pneumoniae again. Mycoplasma is a special pathogen, neither a bacterium nor a virus. It does not contain a cell wall and can be treated with macrolide antibiotics. By inhibiting the protein synthesis of Mycoplasma, it can achieve effects beyond bacteriostatic and bactericidal. The recurrence of Mycoplasma infection indicates that the child's immunity and resistance are relatively low. Therefore, it is necessary to use an autoimmune regulator to reduce the child's immunity and completely eliminate the Mycoplasma that has entered the body through autoimmune means.
