How to see mycoplasma in a blood routine

Usually from the routine blood examination can not see whether the body has mycoplasma infection, such as mycoplasma infection caused pneumonia, the patient's blood routine examination shows that white blood cells are normal or slightly elevated, neutrophils are significantly elevated, and other indicators are normal, the above indicators are not of great significance for the diagnosis of mycoplasma infection, so to judge whether the body has mycoplasma infection, it is necessary to make a clear diagnosis through mycoplasma test, and its commonly used examination methods include antigen detection, antibody detection, mycoplasma culture, genetic diagnosis, etc.

1. Antigen detection: using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, fluorescently labeled antibody, Mycoplasma pneumoniae membrane protein monoclonal antibody and reverse indirect hemagglutination to directly detect mycoplasma antigen in secretions and body fluids, and a positive result can confirm mycoplasma infection;

2. Antibody detection: that is, mycoplasma-specific serological detection and non-specific serological detection, mycoplasma-specific serum detection is most commonly used with complement fixation test, among which mycoplasma IgM antibody is positive, which can be used as a diagnostic criterion for acute infection. Mycoplasma infection is confirmed if serum mycoplasma antibody IgM > 1/64 or a 4-fold increase in convalescent IgG antibody titers. Non-specific serological methods for mycoplasma include mycoplasma pneumoniae cold agglutination test, which plays an auxiliary role in the diagnosis of mycoplasma pneumonia;

3. Mycoplasma culture: Mycoplasma culture is usually carried out by taking secreted reproductive test strips or brushes, as well as prostatic fluid and semen, and drug susceptibility tests can be carried out at the same time, and clinical application of antibiotics can be guided;

4. Genetic diagnosis: DNA probe is used to confirm the diagnosis of mycoplasma, but its sensitivity is slightly poor, and the specificity is high, or the use of polymerase chain reaction PCR detection to diagnose mycoplasma infection in the early stage, its sensitivity and specificity are high.

Through the above examinations, it can be determined that the patient has mycoplasma infection, and after the diagnosis of mycoplasma is confirmed, the patient needs to seek medical attention in time and treat mycoplasma under the guidance of a doctor, such as azithromycin, erythromycin, minocycline, tetracycline, etc. In daily life, patients should pay attention to rest, eat more fruits and vegetables, maintain balanced nutrition, actively engage in outdoor sports, and enhance resistance, so as to avoid recurrence of infection or aggravation of symptoms, such as frequent urination, urgency, painful urination, and incomplete urination.
