Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a microbe that causes bronchitis and pneumonia. We constantly think about him, looking at elderly people coughing.
Not everyone knows that Mycoplasma pneumoniae behaves like a virus that causes the common cold. That is, it can manifest itself as a sore throat, in the ears, a runny nose, and red eyes. You can't tell her from a common cold.
No one knows exactly how mycoplasma behaves as a common cold. In the fall, people start to get sick with this business. There is no great harm from such a cold. They don't study it. Doctors are more concerned with pneumonia. It is not for nothing that this mycoplasma is called mycoplasma pneumonia.
People can carry mycoplasma pneumonia for a while and spread it when they cough and sneeze. It happens that this disgrace continues for months. On average, about seven weeks.
It is believed that the carriage of mycoplasma is associated with its ability to hide inside cells.
Mycoplasmas are the tiniest creatures that can live independently. That is, they will crawl into the cage on occasion, but this is not necessary.
In addition to all kinds of infections in the respiratory organs, mycoplasma pneumonia can put pressure on the brain and explode blood cells. And in fact, and in another case, she does not do it herself, with the help of our own immunity.
Mycoplasma will anger the immune system, which then causes brain inflammation or destruction of red blood cells. Therefore, they remember about mycoplasma pneumonia when they find problems with blood.
And the fashion has also gone to mix covid with mycoplasma. Both are transmitted as a cold, manifests itself as a cold and spoils the blood.
Covid and mycoplasma infection sometimes attack the same person and mutually reinforce each other. It is believed that such a gang greatly increases the risk of thrombosis.
In order not to pick up mycoplasma, you need to follow exactly the same rules as with a cold. You need to wash your hands more often and not go to people who are coughing. No specific means of prophylaxis, vaccines and all that have been invented.
