ATTACK – Mycoplasma is a bacteria (singular form of bacteria) that causes infections. There are various symptoms of mycoplasma pneumoniae which can attack several parts of our body, including the respiratory, urinary and genital tracts. This disease is of concern because in early November 2023, China reported an increase in the number of patients with respiratory tract infections.
It is important to know the symptoms of Mycoplasma Pneumoniae so we can avoid it. This disease is dangerous because it can result in death if infection with the mycoplasma pneumoniae bacteria, which does not have cell walls, attacks the body. Because antibiotics may not work to stop bacterial infections in the body.
There are several types of mycoplasma that most often cause infections in humans, including:
1. Mycoplasma pneumoniae
This mycoplasma bacteria causes a lung infection known as “walking pneumonia” because its symptoms appear as mild chest pneumonia that does not require hospitalization.
2. Mycoplasma genitalium
This mycoplasma bacteria can live in the reproductive organs and can spread through sexual contact. This can occur without symptoms of infection. Most symptoms are similar to a sexually transmitted infection with pain during sex and/or discharge from your vagina or penis.
3. Mycoplasma hominis
This mycoplasma bacteria can live in the urinary tract and genitals. It can also cause infections in people with weakened immune systems. The infection can be passed from parent to child during birth, especially in premature babies.
Symptoms of Mycoplasma Pneumoniae
What are the symptoms of mycoplasma pneumoniae infection? Quoted from my.clevelandclinic.org, several symptoms that indicate someone has had a mycoplasma pneumoniae attack include:
1. Dry cough.
2. Fatigue.
3. Fever.
4. Headache.
5. Sore throat.
6. Pain during sex.
7. Pain when urinating (urinary tract infection).
8. Blood comes out of the penis or vagina.
9. Swelling of the urethra (urethritis).
10. Bleeding from the vagina after sex.
That is information about the symptoms of mycoplasma pneumonia that you should pay attention to. Currently there is no official data from the Indonesian Ministry of Health which states that there are already Indonesian children who have been attacked by Mycoplasma Pneumonia. The DKI Jakarta Health Service has confirmed that there have been reports of mycoplasma cases, but there is no detailed data on how many cases have been found. However, it is important for us to always be careful and maintain our health.
