Mycoplasma lung infection that is a health killer

In the hospital, there are not a few people who are hospitalized due to lung disease, lung disease is easily contagious, and it is very painful, which has caused a lot of trouble to people, what should we do, today we will explain one of the lung diseases - diffuse pulmonary interstitial fibrosis, I hope you can read it carefully.

Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia is pneumonia caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae and was once called primary atypical pneumonia. Onset is slow, with fever, paroxysmal irritating cough, and a small amount of mucinous or mucopurulent sputum (occasionally bloody sputum). Pulmonary signs are often subtle, but they tend to cause extrapulmonary multisystem involvement, which can be life-threatening or fatal. It is more common in children or adolescents, accounting for about 15%~30% of the total number of pneumonia, and can be as high as 40%~60% in epidemic years; The prognosis is generally good and is self-limiting.

Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia is a respiratory infection caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae, including pharyngitis, bronchitis and pneumonia. Mycoplasma pneumoniae is one of the smallest microorganisms that can grow on cell-free media, with an average diameter of 125~150um, no cell wall, and can grow on agar medium containing serum protein and sterols, and the colony is omelette-shaped after 2~3 weeks, with thick middle and low flat surrounding. Mycoplasma is transmitted through the air through oral and nasal secretions, causing sporadic respiratory infections or small epidemics. The disease accounts for more than one-third of non-bacterial pneumonia or 10% of pneumonia caused by various causes. Onset is usually in the fall. Children and young adults are the majority of patients, and the possibility of mycoplasma pneumonia should be considered in infants with interstitial pneumonia.

The onset is slow, the incubation period is about 2~3 weeks, and there is general malaise, fatigue and headache at the beginning of the disease. After 2~3 days, the body temperature often reaches about 39 °C, which can last for 1~3 weeks, and can be accompanied by sore throat and muscle aches.

Cough is a prominent symptom of the disease, generally starting 2~3 days after the disease, at first dry cough, and then turning into intractable severe cough, often with viscous sputum with occasional bloodshots, a few cases can be similar to whooping cough. It can last for 1~4 weeks. Pulmonary signs are often subtle or absent.A few can hear dry and wet music. However, many patches disappear, so the signs are inconsistent with clinical manifestations such as severe cough and fever, which is one of the characteristics of this disease. Infants and young children have a rapid onset, a long course of disease, and a more severe disease, manifested as dyspnea, wheezing, and more prominent stridor sounds, and more pulmonary rales than older children. Some children may have hemolytic anemia, meningitis, myocarditis, moaning, Guillain-Legley syndrome and other extrapulmonary manifestations.

The following is a detailed explanation of the details of diffuse pulmonary interstitial fibrosis, illness is really terrifying, whether it is physical or psychological, whether it is the patient himself or the patient's family, will be frustrated by this, I hope that everyone will take care of their body more on weekdays, and seek medical treatment as soon as possible, I wish everyone good health and a happy life.
