Symptoms of mycoplasma chlamydia pneumonia

Chlamydia pneumonia refers to pneumonia caused by infection with the chlamydial bacteria. Chlamydia pneumonia is a relatively common type of pneumonia. This pneumonia can be divided into three categories, and once these three types of chlamydia pneumonia occur, children often cough incessantly, which makes children very painful and mothers are also very anxious. So what are the symptoms of chlamydia pneumonia?

1. Etiology: Chlamydia pneumonia in children can be sporadic and epidemic. The incubation period is 6~14 days. Chlamydia trachomatis pneumonia occurs mainly in newborns and young infants, and is directly transmitted by infected mothers. Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia develops lung infections in humans through contact with infected birds or inhalation of dust contaminated with their secretions and faeces.Chlamydia pneumoniae enters the body through the respiratory tract, multiplies in monocytes and releases toxins, which spread through the bloodstream to the lungs and tissues throughout the body.

2. Symptoms of chlamydia pneumonia in children

1. The symptoms of Chlamydia trachomatis pneumonia mostly appear 2~12 weeks after birth, with slow onset, no fever or occasional low-grade fever, mild respiratory symptoms, and then cough and shortness of breath, often fine wet rales or crepitations during inhalation, and a few have expiratory stridor. About 50% of children have conjunctivitis or a history of conjunctivitis.

2. The incubation period of Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia is 6~14 days, the onset of cold-like symptoms, often fever, dry cough at the beginning, phlegm later, and difficulty breathing may be mild or severe. There is a relatively slow pulse, myalgia, chest pain, loss of appetite, and occasionally nausea and vomiting.If it is a systemic infection, there may be symptoms of central nervous system infection or myocarditis, occasionally jaundice, and often liver and spleen.

3. The clinical manifestations of chlamydia pneumoniae pneumonia are non-specific and similar to mycoplasma pneumonia. The onset is slow, the course of the disease is long, and the general symptoms are mild, often accompanied by pharyngeal, laryngitis and sinusitis. After the symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection subsided, bronchitis and pneumonia manifestations such as dry and wet rales appeared. Cough symptoms can last for more than 3 weeks.
