Is mycoplasma positive in children scary

Mycoplasma positive in a child does not indicate the severity of the disease, but only indicates that the child has mycoplasma infection or has had mycoplasma infection in the past.

Mycoplasma positive means that when the child's blood is tested, it is found that there is a positive antibody to mycoplasma, if it is positive for IgM, it means that there is mycoplasma infection in the child's body, and if it is positive for IgG, it means that the child has had mycoplasma infection before, but it can only indicate that there is mycoplasma infection in the child's body, and cannot be used to judge the severity of the disease.

Mycoplasma infection can lead to different diseases, so further tests are needed to determine and actively treat; If mycoplasma infection occurs in urine culture, it is mainly caused by urinary tract infection, and if the sputum culture is positive for mycoplasma, it means that the child has mycoplasma lung infection or mycoplasma respiratory tract infection, which can cause pneumonia and other diseases.

Mycoplasma pneumonia is still a relatively serious disease for children, and if not actively treated, it can lead to uncomfortable symptoms such as high fever and cough, and it is easy to recur, affecting the health of the body.

Therefore, once mycoplasma is positive, it is recommended to further improve the examination and carry out reasonable treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
