What does mycoplasma cross-infection mean

Mycoplasma cross-infection is when mycoplasma infects another different pathogen, causing another disease, called mycoplasma cross-infection. Mycoplasma is a prokaryotic cell-type microorganism with no cell wall, which can be cultured and propagated in a bacterial filter, and if cross-infection occurs, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

1. Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection: It can cause mycoplasma pneumonia, which is mainly transmitted by droplets. When a patient is infected with Mycoplasma pneumoniae, it can be transmitted to the air through droplets in the air through coughing, sneezing, talking, etc., and the dust and small particles attached to the air can cause infection after inhaling into the respiratory tract, and symptoms such as fatigue, sore throat, headache, muscle aches, and nausea often occur.Prolonged exposure to droplets containing Mycoplasma pneumoniae may lead to mycoplasma pneumonia;

2. Mycoplasma genitalium infection: It can cause urogenital tract infections, such as Ureaplasma urealyticum, Mycoplasma hominis and Mycoplasma trachomatis, etc., which are mainly transmitted through sexual contact and can cause urethritis,Cervicitis, endometritis, salpingitis and other diseases. If a patient is infected with Ureaplasma urealyticum or Mycoplasma hominis, it can be transmitted through sexual activity, resulting in cross-infection;

3. Vaginitis: If the patient is infected with vaginitis, it may be caused by various factors such as the invasion of exogenous pathogens, the decrease of immunity of the body, and the decrease of hormone levels in the body. Patients often have increased vaginal discharge, vulvar itching, and symptoms such as frequent urination and painful urination.If a patient is infected with Chlamydia trachomatis, it may cause early causesCervicitis, mainly through sexual contact, but also indirectly through sharing clothing;

4. Others: If the patient is infected with another pathogen at the same time, it will also lead to another disease, such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Mycoplasma genitalium at the same time, or infected with herpes simplex virus, human papillomavirus, etc., then the corresponding clinical symptoms will appear at the same time, such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection, which can be manifested as burning pain and itching at the urethral meatus, and it is necessary to go to the hospital in time.
