1) I am often asked in the clinic if I have mycoplasma infection.
Then I would ask, did you know that there is also Chlamydia, Legionella, etc.?
The patient would say no.
I would say, you can’t just care about the germs you know about! Jin Chengzhen, Department of Respiratory Medicine, Third Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University
Patients say, we do not know, we know, still need to find you?
I would say, you don’t understand, you just leave it to me to analyze. Why even remind your doctor if it is mycoplasma ….?
You should trust your doctor, fully believe, and not just do not look for him!
In addition, the relevant tests in this regard are indicative, you can not just rely on it.
2) Could it be that if you are negative for mycoplasma antibodies, you can do without Archie, levoxyl… No, because there can be false negatives and also infections such as Chlamydia, they also need Archie, Levoxyl… , No
3) The following questions were asked by the patient.
Diseases: Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Chlamydia pneumoniae
The first time I had a cough, my child was also found to be weakly positive for Chlamydia pneumoniae and positive for Chlamydia pneumoniae. I took 4 courses of azithromycin after consultation, and my lover and my child are also taking azithromycin, and I went to the laboratory on the fourth day after the last course of treatment, and the results were still positive for Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Chlamydia pneumoniae. Is there something wrong with the test results? I don’t know what to do now. The medicine is bought from a regular pharmacy, or imported.
The doctor’s answer is.
The first choice of drug to manage mycoplasma infection is azithromycin. Your situation is mostly due to insufficient amount of oral medication, resulting in failure to control the infection and may also lead to drug resistance of mycoplasma. It is recommended to go to the hospital for consultation.
My opinion.
No symptoms, why medication. In addition, a positive result is only a reference and cannot be used alone to diagnose, since there are no symptoms, no medication is needed. This example also proves that the test is not reliable!
In short, to see a doctor is not a simple building block, often can not rely only on the examination, need to combine the medical history, systematic analysis!
