Symptoms of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection

In the initial stages of the disease, symptoms such as fatigue, sore throat, headache, muscle pain, and varying degrees of fever may occur. Two to three days later, significant respiratory symptoms appear, including paroxysmal, irritating coughs with a small amount of phlegm, sometimes purulent or blood-streaked. The fever persists for two to three weeks before subsiding, but the cough may continue for a while even after the fever has dissipated, often accompanied by substernal pain. Appropriate diagnostic tests should be conducted for confirmation.

How many days of fever does Mycoplasma pneumoniae cause?

Mycoplasma pneumonia generally causes fever, but the duration of the fever varies depending on the patient's physical constitution and the severity of the illness. If the patient has a strong constitution and good resistance, the fever might improve within two to three days. However, if the patient has a weaker constitution and lower resistance, the fever might persist for four to five days, which should be noted. If mycoplasma infection is confirmed, treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor with medications targeting mycoplasma. It is also important to maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy, greasy, cold, and irritating foods, ensure adequate sleep, and enhance resistance. Regular exercise can also help strengthen the body and promote recovery from the disease.

Are Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Mycoplasma the same?

Are Mycoplasma pneumoniae and mycoplasmas the same? The answer is of course that there are differences. The concept of mycoplasma is quite broad. Mycoplasma, also known as Mollicutes, represents the smallest and simplest of known prokaryotes. There are many types of mycoplasma, and they exist widely in nature. Currently, more than eighty types have been identified, but the most common ones related to human diseases are four types, among which Mycoplasma pneumoniae is the most common. It can cause pulmonary infections. Apart from the common Mycoplasma pneumoniae that causes pulmonary infections, there are other types that can also cause human diseases, such as human mycoplasma, genital mycoplasma, etc. Other types of mycoplasmas primarily cause infections in the urinary or reproductive tracts.
