Mycoplasma pneumonia infection blood picture in children

The blood picture is clinically called blood routine, and the blood routine of mycoplasma pneumonia infection in children can show a decrease in the total number of white blood cells, neutropenia, and lymphopenia. If the child has abnormal blood count, it is recommended that parents follow the doctor's instructions for the child's treatment.

1. Decline in the total number of white blood cells: Mycoplasma pneumonia is a common disease in children, which can lead to mycoplasma infection when children's resistance is reduced, and after the pathogen invades the human body, it causes mycoplasma pneumonia, the total number of white blood cells will decrease significantly, and neutrophils will decrease.Because neutrophils have the effect of phagocytosis and bactericidal, the total number of white blood cells in the routine blood examination of children with mycoplasma pneumonia will be lower than the normal value;

2. Neutropenia: neutropenia may also occur in the blood routine of children with mycoplasma pneumonia, which is mainly due to viral infection, which leads to the stimulation of lymphocytes after the pathogen invades the human body, resulting in a decrease in the absolute value of neutrophils;

3. Lymphopenia: lymphocytes are an important part of the human immune system, and lymphopenia may also appear in the routine blood examination of children with mycoplasma pneumonia, indicating that the cellular immune function is impaired and involved in the immune response, which is one of the main mechanisms of the human body to resist mycoplasma pneumonia.

When mycoplasma pneumonia infection in children has abnormal blood routine, it is necessary to follow the doctor's instructions for treatment, which can be treated with macrolides such as azithromycin and roxithromycin, and fluoroquinolones such as levofloxacin and moxifloxacin.In daily life, children should pay attention to a light diet, drink more water, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, eat less irritating food, and also carry out appropriate physical exercise, which will help enhance resistance and promote the recovery of diseases.
