I. What is the difference between mycoplasma pneumonia diagnosis and bacterial pneumonia?
Mycoplasma pneumoniae is one of the important pathogens of community-acquired pneumonia in children, accounting for approximately 10% to 40% of CAP in hospitalized children.
Second, what is the difference between mycoplasma pneumonia and bacterial pneumonia in children?
1, the former fever and cough severe but physical examination is often not easy to find obvious abnormalities, but the chest X-ray is visible obvious lung infection lesions;
2, mycoplasma pneumonia blood tests are generally not obvious abnormalities or can see a decrease in white blood cell count (which is dominated by lymphocytopenia).
Third, the diagnosis of mycoplasma pneumonia what are the most commonly used tests?
1, chest radiograph.
2, routine blood + C-reactive protein.
3, Mycoplasma antibodies (1 week after the onset of the disease).
What are the symptoms of mycoplasma pneumonia that should be highly suspected at the time of consultation?
1.Recurrent high fever for more than 4-5 days in preschool or school-age children.
2. A cough that appears 1-2 days after the onset of the disease, with a dry cough predominating and gradually worsening.
3. Those with no obvious abnormalities in blood routine.
V. What indicators will be suspected in routine blood tests?
C-reactive protein + cell count is normal or mildly increased or lymphocyte count is decreased.
VI. What is the antibody titer of immunoassay that can be diagnosed?
There are typical clinical features, chest film changes, and positive antibodies can be diagnosed.
VII. What are the results of chest X-ray examination can be diagnosed?
There are typical clinical features, and the diagnosis can be made by infected lesions visible on chest X-ray.
If parents are worried about radiation and do not want to do chest X-ray, does it affect the diagnosis of the disease?
Chest X-ray must be done, the radiation of chest X-ray is negligible, the consequences of not taking chest X-ray are far more serious than that so-called radiation.
