Recently, local media in Russia reported that an unknown virus caused hemoptysis and high fever appeared, and the virus infected patient initially felt unwell, and then his condition deteriorated to the point that he could not get out of bed, his body temperature was as high as 39 degrees Celsius, and he coughed violently, but the patient's new crown pneumonia and flu test results were negative.
On 31/0 local time, the press service of the Russian Service for the Protection of Consumer Rights and Interests and Public Welfare Supervision issued an official response to the latest monitoring situation, saying that no new virus or virus with major mutations has been found in Russia. The bureau also said that the unknown virus could be mycoplasma infection.
Professor Vladimir Chulanov, the chief liberal expert on infectious diseases of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, said that previously information circulating in the media showed that the patient's symptoms were symptoms of acute respiratory diseases, such as bronchitis or pneumonia, which could be caused by the spread of a large number of pathogens during an epidemic outbreak; Bloodshot sputum is usually the result of a violent cough.
The Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation also said that the epidemiological situation of respiratory infections such as acute respiratory viral infections, influenza, COVID-19 and community-acquired pneumonia in Russia is stable and the incidence has decreased.
Mycoplasma infection is a common and high-incidence respiratory disease in autumn and winter, and it is also one of the common pathogens that cause respiratory system (throat, trachea, bronchi, lungs) infection. The population is generally susceptible to mycoplasma, especially in children and adolescents over the age of 5.
Experts say that mycoplasma virus usually occurs once every few years. Acute infection with mycoplasma can lead to a prolonged asymptomatic carrier state, which may play an important role in mycoplasma transmission.
However, mycoplasma infection most often causes mild respiratory infections and does not always cause pneumonia. Only in rare cases can pneumonia (i.e., "mycoplasma pneumonia") manifest as persistent cough, chest pain, and dyspnea.
Wang Xinyu, deputy director of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, told CBN that the cough of mycoplasma pneumonia is usually more stubborn and lasts longer than other types of pneumonia, sometimes lasting weeks or even longer. For people with asthma, the infection may worsen symptoms and may also cause extrapulmonary complications such as autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
