The wards are full of beds and the outpatient clinics are overcrowded. This is the recent state of visits to the pediatric department of many hospitals in Jinan. A disease that causes this state is called mycoplasma pneumonia. The reporter interviewed many hospitals in Jinan and learned that compared with any year in previous years, more children have suffered from mycoplasma pneumonia this year, with more severe illnesses and a longer course of disease. There are many clusters of cases, and students in kindergartens and schools are easy to infect each other. Pay attention to home isolation.
"We now have 1,300 emergency visits a day, and the entire hospital has more than 4,000 visits. This number has reached the limit of our doctors' ability to receive treatment, and it is difficult to accommodate more children." Ye Bing told reporters that the emergency department of the hospital received 24 hours a day, and it was overcrowded and lined up all day long. Unlike the predominantly flu in previous years, mycoplasma pneumonia accounted for about 40% of the children in the clinic, and this disease is also the main reason for the sudden increase in the number of emergency departments. Wang Zhenxian, deputy director of the Department of Pediatrics of the Second Hospital of Shandong University, also introduced that in September this year, a large number of children with mycoplasma pneumonia began to flock to the department. The outpatient volume was more than 600 people a day, and mycoplasma pneumonia accounted for 60 to 70%. The beds in the ward were already occupied. It is very difficult for the child to be hospitalized. "This year's mycoplasma pneumonia is more serious than in previous years. It is called atypical pneumonia and it is not the mainstream. It used to only account for 30% of outpatients. This year it has increased by 40%." Wang Zhenxian said.
Not only more, but also heavy. According to Ye Bing, mycoplasma pneumonia is a self-limiting disease. It was originally a mild disease, but this year there are a lot of severely ill children. Children with lobar pneumonia and atelectasis are all, and the lungs will have substance in one film. Sexual changes are easy to spread. Its course is also very long, usually 3-4 weeks to heal. Wang Zhenxian said that the symptoms of the children who went to the doctor were generally persistent high fever or repeated low-grade fever, coughing, and making it difficult to fall asleep, but it could also be a mild cough. "Why is this mycoplasma virus called Mycoplasma pneumoniae, because it will cause most children to develop pneumonia, and the speed is faster." Ye Bing said that cephalosporin or penicillin is ineffective, and only azithromycin and erythromycin are effective.
Doctors analyzed the reasons that caused the "raging" of Mycoplasma pneumonia this year. The epidemic of Mycoplasma is a cycle of 3-7 years, and now it has just reached the node. Wearing masks in the past two years due to the epidemic has reduced human exposure to pathogens, resulting in a decline in immunity and becoming more susceptible. In addition, the main pathogens were eliminated during the epidemic prevention and control, and mycoplasma, an atypical virus, was not sensitive to disinfectants, but became prominent.
During the consultation, the doctors found that unlike in previous years, infants with lower immunity are susceptible. This year the children are mostly concentrated in school-age children from 3 to adolescents. There are more clusters of cases. Mycoplasma pneumonia has Certainly contagious, many children may be contagious. Therefore, once you have a fever or cough, you should pay attention to home isolation after becoming ill, and do not discontinue the medication easily. At the same time, the room is often ventilated to maintain personal hygiene, and places with less to crowded. Pay attention to exercise diet to improve personal immunity.
