What are the main symptoms of mycoplasma pneumonia?

1. Symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection

The vast majority of patients with mycoplasma pneumonia present with mild or moderate upper respiratory tract infections because mycoplasma invades the respiratory tract and adheres to the surface of epidermal cells in the upper bronchial tubes and releases toxic metabolites that damage the cells. Tonsillitis, tracheitis, bronchitis usually present.

Intractable cough is the main symptom of mycoplasma pneumonia because mycoplasma often invades the bronchi and lungs, and the cough is mostly choking and difficult to resolve. At first it was a dry cough with a few days of phlegm. Only a few patients have blood or hemoptysis in the sputum, sometimes with retrosternal pain.

Patients with mycoplasma pneumonia have a complex immune response in the body due to mycoplasma infection. Therefore, patients often have loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or abnormal liver function, and very few patients are complicatednephritisand renal failure.

5. Other extrapulmonary complications

After Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, specific serum antibodies and local secretory antibodies in the respiratory tract can be produced, and a variety of autoantibodies such as brain, lung, red blood cell membrane, lymphocyte, and myocardium appear, causing human antigen reactions and extrapulmonary complications.
