What causes mycoplasma pneumonia infection

Mycoplasma pneumonia can be caused by cold virus infections, tracheitis, and pulmonary sarcoidosis, as detailed below:

1. Cold virus infection: Cold virus is a common virus, which can be transmitted through droplets and contact infection, enter the respiratory tract and cause inflammation, resulting in cough, sore throat and other symptoms.If mycoplasma infects the respiratory tract at the same time, symptoms of mycoplasma pneumonia will appear, such as cough, chest pain, difficulty breathing, etc.

2. Tracheitis: Tracheitis is an upper respiratory tract infection, often caused by viral and bacterial infection, which can lead to inflammation of the tracheal mucosa, causing symptoms such as sore throat and cough. If the inflammation caused by tracheitis spreads to the bronchi and lungs, symptoms of mycoplasma pneumonia appear.

3. Pulmonary sarcoidosis: Pulmonary sarcoidosis is a rare lung disease caused by a variety of causes, including infections, tumors, connective tissue diseases, etc. If the lung nodules are infected with mycoplasma, it can cause symptoms of mycoplasma pneumonia, such as fever, fatigue, cough, etc.

In addition to the above relatively common causes, there are other possible causes, such as prolonged use of immunosuppressants, long-term smoking, etc., which may also increase the incidence of mycoplasma pneumonia.
