Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection spreading... Bucheon City shares prevention guidelines[2]
These days, Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is reportedly widespread across the country. When I went to the hospital because my symptoms were similar to a cold, I was told it could be Mycoplasma. It is said that transmission is possible up to 20 days after the onset of symptoms. Please follow the prevention guidelines carefully. Children with weak immune systems need to be extra careful when participating in group activities. Recently, in Bucheon City, Gyeonggi Province, the number of infection cases has been increasing, and adherence to prevention guidelines for Mycoplasma pneumonia infection has been urged. According to the Seoul Metropolitan Government on the 23rd, the outbreak has continued since mid-August when the weekly number of hospitalized patients nationwide exceeded 1,000. As of the 12th, the number of patients hospitalized due to Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection this year reached 20,069. This is approximately ten times the number of cumulative hospitalized patients (2,075 people) that occurred during the same period last year, and it is showing a rapid spread especially among children and adolescents. Mycoplasma pneumonia infection is an acute respiratory infection caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae, which can occur throughout the year but mainly spreads from late autumn to early spring. If infected with Mycoplasma pneumoniae, initial symptoms include fever, headache, and sore throat, with a cough lasting more than two weeks. These symptoms are similar to those of a common cold and usually resolve naturally, but if it progresses to a severe form, it can cause pneumonia and other complications. Infections can occur through droplet transmission of respiratory secretions such as coughs or runny noses, or through direct contact, and transmission can easily occur within group facilities such as daycare centers, kindergartens, schools, or among family members. Additionally, since transmission is possible until 20 days after symptom onset, it is important to adhere to preventive measures. The main prevention guidelines for respiratory infectious diseases include: △Washing hands with soap under running water for at least 30 seconds △Covering mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing △Not touching eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands △Seeking medical care and resting when experiencing respiratory symptoms △Avoiding crowded places while symptoms persist △Using separate towels, water cups, etc., for patients △Wearing a mask and refraining from going to school or work if experiencing respiratory symptoms. A respiratory disease official stated, "Since respiratory infections spread easily, it is important to follow preventive measures," and "If symptoms are suspected, seek treatment at the nearest medical facility and take sufficient rest." <Source: Money Today>
♡24.10.24Views 94Likes 3 'Cough cough'—it wasn't just a cold or COVID... A surge in patients with Mycoplasma pneumonia[6]
Everyone in my family is coughing, too. Mycoplasma has been popular for a few years now. ------‐‐--‐---‐----------- Mycoplasma pneumonia has been significantly prevalent this year. There are concerns that delayed treatment could lead to severe pneumonia, so caution is necessary. According to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency on the 19th, the number of patients hospitalized with Mycoplasma pneumoniae in 2024 is 20,069, an increase of approximately 350% compared to last year. Compared to the 1,591 hospitalized patients in 2022, it has increased by a remarkable 12.6 times. Especially as the weather has recently become colder, the number of patients is increasing rapidly. In the 13th week of 2024 (March 25 to March 31), the number of patients hospitalized for Mycoplasma pneumonia in the spring was 96, the lowest figure of the year. In contrast, in the recent 41st week (October 7 to October 13), the number of hospitalized patients increased to 1,001, more than ten times higher. When infected with Mycoplasma, symptoms such as cough, wheezing (rales), fever, and sore throat appear. Initially, these symptoms are similar to a cold, but the cough and fever tend to worsen. Mycoplasma bacteria are a major cause of pneumonia, and about 10-15% can develop into severe pneumonia, making early treatment important. Especially for children who are infected with Mycoplasma, there is a high risk of concurrent infection with other viruses, so parents need to maintain strict hygiene, reduce contact with infected individuals, and take preventive measures and early treatment.

미니미니민24.10.19Views 124Likes 4 (Story) From hospitalization due to Mycoplasma and parainfluenza pneumonia causing enteritis symptoms to full recovery... Fasting is indeed the best method for enteritis![5]
Our daughter bought samgyetang around the beginning of July three weeks ago and also bought kongguksu. I was about to enjoy a delicious dinner... but after eating a little, they said their stomach hurts. Then I burped, and I thought I was feeling a bit better, but... The next day, I received a call from school saying I had a severe stomach ache. In the end, I asked my biological mother and went to the hospital. He has no fever but complains of stomach pain, so we perform an enema and observe the symptoms; he says it seems like enteritis. They say it would be good to get an IV infusion.. Since the child has rarely received IV fluids when very young, I told the mother to go home for now, as it might be difficult for her. And that evening... The child who I thought was getting better is rolling around again, complaining of a stomach ache. Eventually, I drove to the hospital with my husband and first received IV fluids for the baby. It's past 8 PM... Wow, even at that time, there were so many children. It felt like all the really sick children, with illnesses like pneumonia and hand-foot-mouth disease, were gathering because of the outbreak. They took an X-ray first and then saw the doctor, and there was also inflammation in the lungs. My stomach was full of gas... to the point where it was really painful. It seems like I have pneumonia and enteritis; come to think of it, it was at the apartment water park on Sunday. I remembered the child's words about diving and playing, so I told the doctor... These days, most kids are playing in the water and catching pneumonia, enteritis, or hand-foot-mouth disease.ㅠㅠ I came to the hospital with the line connected because I was told I needed to receive IV fluids again the next day. The next day, I took a day off and went early in the morning to have my child's IV inserted, but even though the line was connected, it only took a while to connect the IV. I waited over 40 minutes... the IV room was also full, so I had to wait in line. Looking at the waiting list, most of the children are receiving IV fluids for pneumonia, enteritis, or hand-foot-mouth disease. While receiving IV fluids, I said my stomach didn't hurt and I was hungry, and I felt a bit better, so I brought her in... The child who skipped two meals seemed to eat well with rice porridge for lunch, but after taking a nap in the evening, they said their stomach hurt again. Since it was already too late, the pediatric department that was open until 11 PM had closed at 9 PM. First, I gave them the prescribed medication and wiped their stomach, and as a result, they also disliked getting injections again. I felt like my stomach was settling a bit, so I went to sleep and decided to wait for now. The next day, the child who was still experiencing severe stomach pain had her husband take leave and go, and she was eventually hospitalized. That evening, I packed my belongings and went as a guardian for the child... Starting from Tuesday evening, I was in pain, so I was eventually hospitalized on Thursday, and I thought I might be discharged by Saturday, so I began hospitalization... There are babies in the three-person room who seem to be around six months old. Woke up crying even in the early morning... the hospital stay has started somewhat uncomfortably, and First, I reserved a single or deluxe room, and the next day, since the deluxe room was available, I moved to the deluxe room for one night. Let's just wait a few days while receiving IV fluids and eating porridge... and when I checked the next day... The blood test results showed two types of pneumonia bacteria: Mycoplasma and Parainfluenza. I do have a cough with phlegm, but it happens only intermittently and I have no fever at all. Doctors say that these days, enteritis is occurring together due to pneumonia bacteria. I heard that our second child only came to the hospital because of enteritis. So, I received a prescription for respiratory therapy and medication for enteritis to begin treatment. At first, I had a solid stool, so I wondered if it was gastroenteritis, but it turned out that the intestines weren't moving, and it was just old stool coming out. He started having diarrhea from the day after he was admitted. And... if I only eat 3-4 spoonfuls of porridge, I cry and roll around because my stomach hurts... ㅠㅠ Ultimately, I decided to fast on Saturday morning for the appointment. My child had a stomachache and didn't even say they wanted to eat, so they really went two full days without eating. They say the best treatment for enteritis is really fasting... After fasting for two days, the complaint that stomach pain has disappeared and now they are crying out that they are hungry. I was allowed to eat porridge starting from Sunday evening. On Monday, I tried eating a little banana as well.. My stomach seems to be getting better, so I didn't complain much about stomach pain. The diarrhea started to turn into slightly loose stool gradually... So, the discharge was decided for Tuesday, and even after discharge, I carefully watched over him for about two days, feeding him carefully. The doctor said I can now eat normally, but I was still scared. But the child is crying and fussing, saying they're hungry... Come to think of it, the fasting is only two days, but since Tuesday evening, the child hasn't eaten anything for over a week. The child who isn't hungry starts to eat as if possessed.. He has recovered very healthily. Mycoplasma pneumonia is an acute respiratory infection caused by infection with Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and it is transmitted through direct contact with droplets such as saliva or nasal mucus, or by inhaling respiratory droplets. During the initial few weeks, high fever lasting between 38 to 40 degrees Celsius persists, accompanied by runny nose, sore throat, phlegm, and frequent coughing, eventually progressing to pneumonia. Recently, there has been a rapid increase in children suffering from Mycoplasma pneumonia. The only fortunate thing was... Most of the children suffering from high fever and productive cough are experiencing difficulties. Should I say I was lucky... Our daughter only had a severe case of enteritis. 10 to 30% of all pneumonia cases are caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Most of the patients are children under 12 years old. This year, 80% of all pediatric inpatients were due to Mycoplasma... It was a frightening pneumonia bacteria. This time, the first thing I learned while caring for my second child during hospitalization is... Fasting is the best remedy for enteritis! And it's not worth struggling to go to a university hospital; staying in a large pediatric hospital with a private room or more is less stressful for both the mother and the child. I comforted and put the child who became my mom's clingy to sleep, and I had to soothe the crying child. At least turning on TV EBS helps divert attention and prevents boredom... So I think I endured it. Still... the child had a nightmare at the hospital and was scared and struggling... This is a review of the treatment for pneumonia and enteritis caused by atypical Mycoplasma pneumoniae. The summer that still hasn't ended.. Nearby colleagues' children are suffering from hand-foot-mouth disease. I'm suffering from pneumonia again.. Another junior who is not married has contracted COVID-19 and is staying masked... The fear of infectious diseases still hasn't disappeared... Everyone... I hope you all pass safely through this summer's heat and viruses.
인프리24.08.07Views 308Likes 2 Mycoplasma and whooping cough outbreaks... Coughing children’s 'COVID nightmare' [Parent's Encyclopedia][3]
Our second child has pneumonia and enteritis caused by Mycoplasma... It really seems to be in fashion... This hospital is also crowded... The inpatient rooms and IV rooms are both completely full. Most of the children admitted are due to pneumonia, enteritis, etc. ㅠ_ㅠ The only fortunate thing is that our second child had no fever at all... Pneumonia came relatively mildly, while enteritis was more severe... The blood test results showed Mycoplasma bacteria, and that's correct... It's quite amazing that there was not a single fever... --------------------------------------------------------------- Initial cold symptoms similar... persistent fever and cough Two infectious diseases can be treated with the same antibiotic. Mr. A, who has young children in elementary school, received a message from the school a few days ago. It said, "There has been a case of whooping cough at the school, and we ask for your cooperation in prevention and transmission control." Then, after about 3 to 4 days, the child started coughing and developed a high fever. After visiting the hospital and undergoing tests, a diagnosis of Mycoplasma was made, and antibiotics were prescribed. Mr. A said, "Hearing about the whooping cough case at the school, I was worried that it might be a co-infection of whooping cough and Mycoplasma." Newsis Recently, the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency issued a warning about the outbreak of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections and also urged caution regarding the spread of whooping cough. As two infectious diseases are spreading simultaneously, parents of children in daycare centers, kindergartens, and elementary schools are recalling the 'nightmare' of the cold and flu outbreaks that occurred after the endemization (becoming endemic) in April-May of last year. Mycoplasma pneumonia is a disease caused by infection with bacteria called 'Mycoplasma.' Mycoplasma bacteria are characterized by the absence of a cell wall. Normally, antibiotics kill bacteria by destroying their cell walls, but since Mycoplasma already lack a cell wall, standard antibiotics are ineffective. Professor Shim Jung-yeon of the Department of Pediatrics at Gangbuk Samsung Medical Center said, "If you administer the first-line antibiotic for Mycoplasma pneumonia, macrolides, and there is no improvement in symptoms such as fever and cough after 48 to 72 hours, and the condition worsens, it is likely due to macrolide antibiotic resistance, and a second-line antibiotic should be used." In a domestic survey conducted in 2019, Mycoplasma was found to have an 80% resistance to antibiotics. Professor Sim said, "Mycoplasma pneumonia initially presents with sore throat, fever, and other cold-like symptoms, and after a day or two, a cough begins." He added, "The way to distinguish it from a simple cold is that even as time passes, fever and cough persist, and the amount of food intake also decreases." Whooping cough, which is also currently popular, shows similar symptoms. Fever, sore throat, and cough appear similarly. It is difficult for the general public to distinguish between the two diseases based solely on symptoms. Should we definitely perform PCR tests for whooping cough and mycoplasma and treat each accordingly? The answer is 'No.' Since both diseases can be treated with the same antibiotic prescription, PCR testing is not necessarily required. Professor Shim said, "Even after 100 days, since macrolide antibiotics are used, both conditions are treated with the same antibiotics," and advised, "Compared to a common cold, both conditions have prolonged fever and cough, and since pneumonia complications or sequelae can remain, chest radiography follow-up tests are necessary."
