What to look at the results of mycoplasma pneumonia
Mycoplasma pneumonia results can be seen by blood tests, sputum tests, and imaging tests. Mycoplasma pneumonia refers to acute lung inflammation caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae, the main cause of which is acute inflammation of the lungs caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae, which is mainly transmitted through respiratory droplets, with an incubation period of 2-3 weeks.
1. Blood test
The total number of white blood cells in the complete blood count is normal or slightly increased, and neutrophils are predominant. There may also be manifestations of lymphocytopenia, and patients can be treated with drugs such as azithromycin capsules and roxithromycin capsules as prescribed.
2. Sputum examination
Sputum examination in patients with mycoplasma pneumonia may reveal low white blood cells and predominantly neutrophils and lymphocytes.
During the illness, due to the increase in respiratory secretions, the patient's respiratory tract can be irritated and cause cough and sputum production. Patients with mycoplasma pneumonia can be treated with doxycycline hydrochloride tablets and roxithromycin capsules as prescribed by the doctor.
3. Imaging examination
CT of the lungs may show multiple patchy ground-glass opacities in the lungs of mycoplasma pneumonia, usually in the middle and lower lobes of both lungs. If the disease is severe, symptoms such as congestion, swelling, and hilar thickening of the lungs may also occur, and sometimes diffuse reticular effusions and lobular infiltrates may appear. Patients can be treated with drugs such as moxifloxacin hydrochloride tablets and roxithromycin capsules as prescribed by the doctor.
It can also be seen by bacteriological examination. Patients are advised to get enough sleep, drink plenty of fluids, and eat a light diet during the illness, which is conducive to recovery.
