How mycoplasma infection is contracted in children

Mycoplasma infection in children can usually be caused by droplet transmission and direct contact with the source of infection.

For example, droplet transmission, mycoplasma colonizes the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract. If the child has low immunity and comes into contact with a person infected with mycoplasma, the child will be infected directly by the respiratory droplets of the patient. Try not to take small children into crowded places. Direct contact with the source of infection may be through direct contact, including hand contact or contaminated objects, toys, etc.
