What are the symptoms of mycoplasma encephalitis?

Children's physical development is not yet mature, so they are easily affected by the outside world and suffer from some diseases, mainly because the body's resistance is too poor. Parents and friends should usually take their children out to exercise more and go less to some public places with smoke and miasma, so that they can improve their children's body immunity and avoid contact with bacteria and viruses. So, what are the symptoms of mycoplasma encephalitis?

Mycoplasma encephalitis is a common pneumonia in preschool children and young adults, mycoplasma pneumonia is mainly transmitted by droplets, and the incubation period is long, up to 2~3 weeks. Although mycoplasma pneumonia has a longer course of disease, severe lung lesions, and slower absorption of inflammation, the prognosis is generally good and there are few comorbidities. If mycoplasma pneumonia is confirmed, it is recommended to treat erythromycin or azithromycin for 3 courses, and it is easy to recur if the drug is stopped too early.

disease

Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in children has a long incubation period, and most of them manifest as pharyngitis, rhinitis, tracheitis and bronchiolitis, with obvious fatigue and loss of appetite. The initial cough is dry cough, and then turns into a stubborn and violent cough, without sputum or accompanied by a small amount of mucus sputum, especially at night, the cough is more obvious, infants and young children show wheezing and dyspnea, and in severe cases, mycoplasma pneumonia can occur. Children with mycoplasma pneumonia account for 3%~10% of all Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections. Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection may also cause lesions in organs other than the respiratory tract, such as myocarditis, hepatitis, arthritis,nephritis, meningitis, hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenic purpura, etc. Mycoplasma pneumoniae can also cause lesions of other systems and organs, such as morbilliform rash, myalgia, migratory joint pain, liver impairment, hemolytic anemia, meningoencephalitis, myocarditis, pericarditis,nephritisWait.

Chinese and Western treatments

The correct choice of antimicrobials is the key to the success or failure of the treatment of mycoplasma pneumonia. Because mycoplasma hides in cells, and penicillins and cephalosporins have very low intracellular concentrations, and these two antibiotics kill bacteria by destroying the cell wall of bacteria, while mycoplasma does not have a cell wall, the above two antibiotics are "powerless".Clinical application has confirmed that erythromycin has a high concentration in cells and can kill mycoplasma, but erythromycin has greater side effects, and has been replaced by azithromycin in recent years, which has a long effect time and only needs to be taken once a day, with relatively few side effects. Generally, you need to take the drug for 2~3 weeks, otherwise it is easy to relapse.
