How to look at mycoplasma culture and drug susceptibility report

Mycoplasma culture and drug susceptibility report are mainly based on changes in white blood cells, red blood cells, C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, and surface antibodies to determine mycoplasma infection.

1. Changes in white blood cells

If the white blood cell count is normal or low, the neutrophil count is normal, and the lymphocyte count is high, it may be due to mycoplasma infection.

2. Changes in red blood cells

If the red blood cell count is low, it may be due to anemia. If the red blood cell count is high, it may be due to dehydration.

3. Changes in C-reactive protein

C-reactive protein is an inflammatory marker, and if C-reactive protein is elevated, it may be due to a bacterial infection. If C-reactive protein is normal, it may be due to a viral infection.

4. Changes in procalcitonin

Procalcitonin is a protein, and if procalcitonin is elevated, it may be due to a bacterial infection. If procalcitonin is normal, it may be due to mycoplasma infection.

5. Changes in surface antibodies

A surface antibody is a protective antibody, and if the surface antibody is positive, it may be due to mycoplasma infection. If surface antibodies are negative, it may be due to mycoplasma infection.

In daily life, patients should pay attention to drinking more water and urinating more, which is conducive to the recovery of the disease. If the patient has symptoms of discomfort, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
