Causes Mycoplasma genitalium in children

Mycoplasma are present in the body of women, under certain conditions, mainly inflammatory processes in the genital areas and cause infectious diseases of the urinary tract and reproductive organs. Bacteria hominis often cause the development of chorioamnionitis, pyelonephritis, and postpartum infections. It is not surprising that these microorganisms are absorbed by the skin, mucous membranes, the stomach of newborns.

They cause the development of different pathologies. The effects of mycoplasmosis babies can be: chronic meningitis and ventrikulit, abscess of the scalp, wound infection, abscess of the brain, lymphadenitis, pericardialny effusion and the presence of blood pyogenic microorganisms and their toxins.

Some time after birth in newborns the infection appears not only in the urogenital organs. Kids with immune deficiency suffer from empyema and meningitis, bacteremia, peritonitis, infections of soft tissues, arthritis, endocarditis. An important risk factor experts believe decreases the concentration of immunoglobulins in the blood of the child (hypogammaglobulinemia).

Perinatal form of infection (from mother) threatens the development of thrush, poor healing of the umbilical wound. Children are often premature, have breathing disorders and pathological jaundice. Possible death of the fetus in utero. Generalized form affects the cardiovascular and nervous systems, musculoskeletal function and skin.

Therefore, children born with such disorders, the survival rate is low. Mycoplasma is the causative agent rather complex infectious diseases, it is well propagated in the human body. Children not only become infected during childbirth from an infected mother. The disease spreads through objects (toys, clothes), in this case, affects the bronchial tubes, lungs, throat, nose, eyes, and genitourinary system.

The severity of the child depends on how small the child is protected by the immune system. Reduced immunity involves a complex process of the disease. Mycoplasmosis is developing in the pulmonary (respiratory) or in the urogenital forms of their manifestations are different. Pneumonic mycoplasmosis affects the respiratory system, leads to certain changes in the lung cells, causing their destruction.

Acquired the disease through airborne droplets, through contact of the hands of kids in groups of kindergartens. First symptoms – fever to thirty-eight degrees, burning, hyperemia in the throat and oral cavity, nasalnose. In the absence of timely treatment develops pneumonia. Symptoms similar to the flu, but appear quite long.

Often a sign of illness – painful and prolonged cough, it lasts more than two weeks. The child may cough constantly, the experience of the doctors know that mycoplasmosis caused by bronchitis, asthma and tracheitis. Urogenital or urogenital mycoplasmosis is inflammation of the urinary organs, such infection, the child receives only from the mother during childbirth.

In the process of diagnosis, causes Mycoplasma genitalium can be detected using blood agar. Also used a standard liquid medium (blood culture). If conventional methods of identifying the infectious agent is not effective, make a special request. In the definition of the disease used the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which indicates the presence of DNA of the pathogen in the urine culture method, the processing method of paired sera, immunofluorescence (RIF).

With the defeat of Mycoplasma infections of the Central nervous system (CNS) recovery is usually slow, in some cases, there are complications, including death. The treatment of the disease is using the drug erythromycin, tetracycline and doxycycline. A positive effect occurs when clarithromycin and azithromycin are produced in the form of suspensions.

These tools are well tolerated, almost have no side effects on the gastrointestinal tract. The duration of treatment is about 14 to 21 days, it all depends on selection of antibiotic therapy and individual characteristics of a child. Modern developments in medicine to allow you to apply unique methods of treatment:

• the in vitro immunopharmacotherapy – designate, given the characteristics of the pathogenesis of mycoplasmal infection, intracellular path of propagation of microbes and parasitism, the ability to suppress the functional activity of the immune system such. This method restores the immune system, reduces the activity of the infectious process.
• Technology cryomodification autoplasma help rid the body of autoaggressive antibodies that can quickly eliminate the development of autoimmune complications of Mycoplasma infection.
