What are the sequelae of mycoplasma infection
Mycoplasma infections usually do not leave sequelae if treated aggressively. However, if the patient is not actively treated, sequelae such as mycoplasma pneumonia, myocarditis, and meningitis may occur.
1. Mycoplasma pneumonia: If the patient's mycoplasma infects the lungs, it can cause mycoplasma pneumonia, with a slow onset, mainly manifested as fatigue, sore throat, headache, paroxysmal cough, neck pain, chest pain and other respiratory symptoms, and a small number of patients can have fever and general malaise. Patients may have normal pulmonary signs or rales on auscultation of both lungs for 2 to 3 weeks.
For patients with mild disease, it can generally be cured by following the doctor's instructions with azithromycin tablets, roxithromycin capsules and other drugs, and usually there are no sequelae;
2. Myocarditis: If the patient is infected with myocardium, it can cause myocarditis, which has a relatively acute onset, and can be manifested as fever, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms. Most patients have a good prognosis and usually do not have sequelae;
3. Meningitis: If the patient's mycoplasma infects the brain, it can cause meningitis, which is mainly manifested as headache, nausea, vomiting, neck stiffness and other symptoms, and some patients can also appearepilepsyseizures and cranial nerve damage generally have a good prognosis and no sequelae;
4. Others: In addition, for Mycoplasma genitalium infection, it may cause urethritis,vaginitis、Cervicitisand other gynecological inflammation, as wellnephritisrenal pelvisnephritisand other kidney disease, orcystitis, ureteritis and other urinary diseases.However, because the disease caused by mycoplasma infection is relatively rare and patients have been infected for a long time, there are usually no sequelae.
