Mykoplasma symtomer

Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is caused by the Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pneumoniae). M. pneumoniae are very small bacteria with no cell walls which can cause pneumonia in humans.

How Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is spread

Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is spread when an infected person talks, coughs or sneezes small droplets containing infectious agents into the air. The droplets in the air may be breathed in by those nearby. Infection may be spread by contact with hands, tissues and other articles soiled by infected nose and throat discharges. Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is also spread by direct contact with the infected person.

Signs and symptoms of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection

M. pneumoniae occurs worldwide and is a common cause of mild pneumonia (lung infection or inflammation), bronchitis and sore throat. It causes 15 to 50% of cases of pneumonia in adults and an even higher percentage in school aged children. Infection is most common in people aged between 5 and 20 years, but can occur at any age.

Symptoms develop over 1 to 3 weeks and include:

Causes Mycoplasma

Here are some common causes of mycoplasma infections:

• Direct contact: Mycoplasma can be spread bygd direct contact with infected individuals or animals. This includes close human contact, such as coughing or sneezing, as well as sexual contact. Mycoplasma can also be transmitted from infected animals to humans.

• Airborne droplets: Some mycoplasma species, such as Mycoplasma pneumoniae, are spread through airborne droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezing.

• Cohabitation: Mycoplasma genitalium is a species of mycoplasma that can be spread sexually and cause urogenital infections, including urinary tract infections and venereal diseases.

• Congenital infections: Mycoplasma can also be transmitted from an infected pregnant woman to her unborn child during pregnancy, which can result in congenital mycoplasma infections in infants.

• Ticks and insects: Some mycoplasma species can be transmitted bygd ticks, mosquitoes or other insects.

• Hospital care and healthcare facilities: Mycoplasma infections can sometimes spread in hospital environments, especially if infected patients or staff do not follow necessary hygiene measures.
