What are Mycoplasma antibodies in children?

The explanation of antibodies in medicine is that after suffering from a certain disease or being infected with a certain virus, the body will produce a substance that fights the virus, which is called antibody. In the words of ordinary people, it means that after suffering from a disease, there is something in the body to compete with it, and naturally it will not be easily suffered again. So, what kind of existence is mycoplasma antibody in medicine?

function

Mycoplasma antibodies are generally latent in the body's immune system, and their existence time generally ranges from a few months to a few years, and some even ten to a few decades. When our body is attacked by mycoplasma again, mycoplasma antibodies appear to destroy mycoplasma as a way to protect our body from attack.However, mycoplasma antibodies are not a panacea, and if mycoplasma invasion exceeds the therapeutic range of mycoplasma antibodies, people will redevelop symptoms of mycoplasma infection.

serology

There are mycoplasma-specific serological tests and non-specific serological tests. When infected with Mycoplasma pneumoniae, humans can produce specific IgM and IgG antibodies. IgM antibodies appear early, generally appear 1 week after infection, reach a peak in 3~4 weeks, and gradually decrease later. Since the incubation period of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is 2~3 weeks, IgM antibody positivity can be used as a diagnostic indicator for acute infection when the patient presents with symptoms, when the patient presents with symptoms, IgM antibody positivity. If IgM antibodies are negative, Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is not negated.

IgG antibodies should be tested. IgG appears later than IgM, and needs to be observed dynamically, if it is significantly elevated, it indicates recent infection, and if it is significantly decreased, it indicates that it is in the late stage of infection. The simultaneous measurement of IgG and IgM can improve the diagnostic rate, guide drug use, and improve efficacy.

Misunderstanding

Myth 1

A single positive case of Choncoplasma antibodies only indicates that there has been an infection in the past, not that it is now infected. In fact, mycoplasma infection is a self-limiting disease that can be cured by itself within a month, and there is no need to go out of your way to treat it blindly.That's just fooling people who don't know how to heal.

After a person gets sick, he will produce antibodies to the disease, which is the same as vaccination, after the vaccination, antibodies must be produced, viral infection can be lifelong immunity, and bacterial infection can be maintained for at least half a year without repeated infection. The immunity of recurrent infected people can be further prolonged, or even lifelong. This is just as effective as a booster shot.

Myth 2

There is no need for follow-up testing after treatment, because the antibodies need to be maintained for at least about half a year before turning negative. Some people often have re-examinations, sometimes they have antibodies and sometimes they don't, but they mistakenly think that I am getting better and how I am infected again, but in fact, the test is not so accurate every time. Believing that you have no symptoms is the last word.

somevaginitisThe patient is not actually caused by mycoplasma infection, but has another cause. It is often encountered in clinical practicevaginitisPatients are often found in sexual life, do not use pH4 weak acid feminine care solution daily cleaning, because the vagina has a self-cleaning effect, when these microorganisms break their balance relationship, the dominant microbial side will be to blame, causing our vagina inflammation, light only itching first, then inflammation or other diseases, if we ignore it will be further aggravated.If we don't use pH4 weak acidic feminine care solution for daily cleaning, that is, we are cultivating while treating, it is equivalent to doing useless work. It is also easy to form antimicrobial resistance to various microorganisms. When the day comes, the bacteria in our body become resistant to the drug, and there is no cure for our resurgence. It's a terrible thing. Mycoplasma can live with people without showing signs of infection. Moreover, as a normal population, even if the carrying rate is reduced by medication, after a period of normal sexual behavior, the carrying rate will return to the original level. Don't panic, and don't abuse drugs.
