How is mycoplasma pneumonia diagnosed?

Without bronchoscopy and no scrubbing pathological examination, where can mycoplasma pneumonia come? At present, the diagnosis of mycoplasma pneumonia is mainly based on clinical symptoms, imaging and laboratory tests.As with other acute infectious diseases, pathological examination is not necessary.

Mycoplasma pneumonia should be considered when the patient develops fever, cough, headache, sore throat, listlessness, fever that persists for several weeks, and cough with gastrointestinal symptoms of different stages when the fever stops.

X-rays and CT scans of the lungs showed various forms of infiltrative shadows, which were segmental, and exudative lesions were also seen in both lungs. Lung inflammation usually disappears spontaneously within 3~4 weeks, and it has lung imaging characteristics of mycoplasma pneumonia.

Laboratory tests: the titer of the condensation set test is greater than 1:32, and the titer gradually increases to be more diagnostic. Mycoplasma antibody test. lgM antibody, 1gG antibody, mycoplasma antibody normal value is 1:20. If mycoplasma antibodies are more than 4-fold elevated, or if lgM is positive, recent mycoplasma infection is considered. Mycoplasma antigen test: Respiratory secretions are extracted to detect Mycoplasma pneumonia antigen, but due to the high requirements and low detection rate, it is rarely used in general hospitals.

Antimycoplasma drug therapy, including the macrolides erythromycin and azithromycin, and the fluoroquinolone levofloxacin and moxifloxacin, will achieve good efficacy.
