How to read the laboratory test for mycoplasma infection

Mycoplasma labs mainly look for positive mycoplasma and show positive results if the patient has an infection. A drug sensitivity test for mycoplasma can also be performed to observe mycoplasma-sensitive antibiotics, which can help in the selection of targeted therapeutic drugs. There are more antibiotics that are sensitive to mycoplasma, especially if the patient is found to be infected with mycoplasma for the first time and rarely takes antibiotics in general and is sensitive to most antibiotics. If the patient repeatedly infected with mycoplasma, after a long period of antibiotic treatment, may be resistant to antibiotics, at this time should refer to the results of the drug sensitivity test, choose sensitive antibiotic treatment. Antibiotics that are more sensitive to mycoplasma, including ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, azithromycin, erythromycin, and memantine, are more commonly used. Most patients can turn negative with treatment, a few can persist or be treated for a period of time and then repeated when reviewed, and the need to continue treatment can be decided according to the situation.
