Mycoplasma pneumoniae is positive for lgG and lgM

Positive Mycoplasma pneumoniae IgG and IgM usually indicate that the patient has been previously infected with Mycoplasma pneumoniae or is in the infectious stage. If it is a previous infection, treatment is usually not needed; If the infection is infectious, anti-infective therapy is indicated.

1. Reasons

1. IgG: IgG antibody is an immunoglobulin produced by the human body after being stimulated by the outside world, which is a protective antibody, when the body is infected by Mycoplasma pneumoniae, the body will produce specific antibodies against the pathogen, including IgG and IgM two types;

2. IgM: IgM is an acutely reactive antibody that appears early in infection and can be used as an indicator to diagnose the presence of recent infection.

2. Treatment

1. Previous infection: If the patient is simply IgG and IgM positive, and has no other uncomfortable symptoms, it is usually due to the previous infection of Mycoplasma pneumoniae, but has been cured, no special treatment is required at this time, and regular re-examination is sufficient;

2. Infectious period: If IgG and IgM are positive at the same time, accompanied by cough, fever and other symptoms, it may be in the infectious period, and it is necessary to use azithromycin tablets and other drugs for anti-infection treatment in time according to the doctor's instructions.

It is recommended that patients pay attention to rest, avoid fatigue and staying up late, and eat more protein-rich foods in their diet, such as eggs and milk, which is conducive to enhancing physical fitness and promoting recovery.
