Background. Mycoplasma pneumoniae is included in the group of atypical pathogens of acute respiratory diseases. Mycoplasma pneumoniae is characterized by a tendency to prolonged course with progressive changes in the lungs. Main value in the confirmation of mycoplasma infection has microbiome in biosubstrates selection and serological diagnostics: the determination of specific immunoglobulins IgM or IgG in the dynamics to M. pneumoniae. Antibacterial therapy of mycoplasma pneumonia is prescribed based on the sensitivity of the pathogen to them. The duration of antibiotic treatment of mycoplasma pneumonia is determined by the dynamics of clinical and radiological data. Materials and methods. The article describes the features of the clinical course of mycoplasma pneumonia in a patient with tubinfection proceeding with bronchoadenitis and obstruction of the bronchus, which necessitated a differential diagnosis with tuberculosis of the intrathoracic lymph nodes and the appointment of repeated courses of antibiotic treatment.Results. In the described clinical case, the duration of Mycoplasma infection exceeded 3.5 months, during which time the patient received several courses of antibiotics. Mycoplasma pneumonia had a prolonged course, accompanied by bronchoadenitis.Conclusion. Our observations show the need to study the effectiveness of extended courses of antibiotics from the azalid group in the treatment of prolonged and complicated forms of Mycoplasma pneumonia.
The main causative agents of lung infection in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) are P. aeruginosa, S. aureus and H. influenzae. In the last decade, gram-negative nonfermentative microorganisms (NFMO) - Вurkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc), Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Achromobacter xylosoxidans and non-tuberculous mycobacteria, fungi of the genus Aspergillus have acquired the clinical significance. It is found that the chronic lung infection in 2/3 of the cases caused by association of microorganisms. Among hospitalized patients, in contrast to outpatients, these associations are represented by two, three or more species of microorganisms. The associations of P. aeruginosa + S. aureus (18,2 %) and P. aeruginosa + Bcc (9,1 %) are the most common. Other representatives - A. xylosoxidans, S. maltophilia and A. baumanii - is often identified in the associations of microorganisms. The focuses of chronic lung infections are formed in patients with increasing age. The dominant pathogens are P. aeruginosa and S. aureus. The methicillinresistant staphylococci and P. aeruginosa strains with a mucoid phenotype are of particular importance for cystic fibrosis patients. Bcc isolates from cystic fibrosis patients in Russia often belong to genomovar III A-B. cenocepacia. The Bcc strains colonize the lower airways of patients with CF and are able for long-term persistence and transmission from patient to patient. The resistance to many antibiotics is the main feature of the P. aeruginosa, S. aureus and Bcc strains. The strains of microorganisms with atypical phenotype (small colony variants) are formed under the action of the antibiotic. Infections caused by Bcc and other NFMO are difficult to identify and we need to use a wide range of bacteriological, biochemical, molecular biological techniques and mass spectrometry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
