What to do if mycoplasma positive pregnancy

A positive mycoplasma test indicates mycoplasma infection. If you are pregnant at this time, it is very likely to be transmitted to the child through the reproductive tract, especially during delivery. At this time, timely treatment is required to avoid adverse effects on the fetus. Some medications can be used to minimize the impact on the fetus. In addition, regular prenatal examinations are required to ensure the health of the baby.

The use of appropriate antimicrobial drugs in the early stages of treatment can alleviate symptoms and shorten the course of the disease. The disease is self-limiting and most cases heal on their own without treatment. Macrolide antibiotics are the first choice, such as erythromycin, roxithromycin and azithromycin. Fluoroquinolones such as levofloxacin, gatifloxacin and moxifloxacin, and tetracyclines are also used to treat Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia. The course of treatment is generally 2 to 3 weeks. Because Mycoplasma pneumoniae has no cell wall, antibacterial drugs such as penicillin or cephalosporin are ineffective. For those who suffer from severe choking and coughing, appropriate antitussive drugs should be given. If secondary bacterial infection occurs, targeted antibacterial drugs can be selected for treatment based on sputum etiology examination. The disease is self-limiting, and most cases can heal themselves without treatment. The use of appropriate antibacterial drugs can alleviate symptoms and shorten the course of the disease. Erythromycin is the first choice for treatment, but tetracyclic antibiotics can also be used. Early use of appropriate antibiotics can alleviate symptoms and shorten the course of the disease to 7 to 10 days.

Mycoplasma infection test

Mycoplasma infection detection method:

1. Routine blood test: Peripheral white blood cell count is generally normal, with an increase in eosinophils.

2. Direct smear microscopy: Take specimens from pharyngeal secretions, sputum, respiratory membranes or other parts for smear.

3. Rapid antigen test: Monoclonal antibody direct immunofluorescence method is often used to detect Chlamydia in specimens.

Mycoplasma infection inspection matters needing attention:

1. Mycoplasma antibody testing is the main means of diagnosing mycoplasma infection, but it must be combined with the clinical characteristics of the child's disease. Mycoplasma infection cannot be confirmed solely based on a positive antibody test. If the child's condition does not improve after 3-5 days of mycoplasma treatment, the diagnosis should be considered incorrect and the doctor should be given timely feedback on treatment information.

2. If the child has an allergic constitution, such as severe eczema when he was a child, recurrent urticaria, allergic rhinitis, etc., if the child coughs for more than a week after a cold and does not improve or has wheezing, you should highly suspect the possibility of asthma or allergic cough. Don't take antibiotics blindly.

3. Mycoplasma infection does not tend to recur, and the course of treatment with macrolide antibiotics is sufficient for 2-3 weeks, and it does not require continuous medication. Take 3 days and stop 4 days, or take 5 days and stop 5 days (that is, take three days and stop four days, or take five days and stop five days. One course of treatment should not exceed one week. Then use one of the methods provided above.) Do not extend the treatment time, otherwise long-term medication will bring many side effects.
