Recently, mycoplasma pneumonia has infected many children and the elderly. Not only that, the new round of influenza and the new coronavirus are also threatening
Learn about mycoplasma pneumonia quickly
●Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a pathogenic microorganism between viruses and bacteria, which does not belong to bacteria or viruses, and it is very small, only 0.2-0.8 microns. Mycoplasma infection is mainly transmitted by direct contact and droplet transmission. The incubation period is 2 ~ 3 weeks. The incidence is highest in children and adolescents.
● Mycoplasma pneumoniae can occur throughout the year, and the peak period of infection is from August to December each year, usually reaching a peak in November.
● After infection with mycoplasma pneumoniae, the most common is cough, fever, other symptoms such as fatigue, dyspnea, headache, sore throat, etc., suspected infection should be sought medical attention as soon as possible.
● 75% alcohol and chlorine-based disinfectants (e.g. 84 disinfectant) can kill Mycoplasma pneumoniae.
Because there is no effective vaccination in many places, the vaccine for mycoplasma pneumonia infection can still be reinfected after recovery from infection. Therefore, for individuals, it is more important to do prevention work in time
How to protect against mycoplasma pneumonia, influenza and COVID-19?
● Pay attention to indoor ventilation, try to avoid crowded and poorly ventilated public places, must go to wear a mask.
● When coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue, do a good job of hand hygiene, and wash your hands frequently with soap and hand sanitizer under running water.
● Schools, kindergartens and other places should pay attention to ventilation and disinfection to avoid clustered infections.
● For closed crowd gathering places, mobile air purifiers can significantly improve indoor air quality and reduce the content of pathogenic factors such as bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma and allergens in the air.
Good air quality is the key to keeping them out of sight
Airborne (airborne) diseases are a serious health threat to all people living in confined public environments. Therefore, air filtration in indoor environments should meet the highest hygiene standards. The filters used must ensure that the dust, bacteria, fungi and biological components inside the building are lower than the outside air. The aim is to prevent microbial contamination, wound infections and, of course, viral infections.
We need to pay attention to air supply, exhaust and circulating air filtration occasions such as air conditioning systems and ventilation systems that have strict requirements for air quality, which can provide greater operational stability and cost effectiveness, facilitate daily maintenance and replacement, and protect personnel health. Suitable for: medicine, food factories, hospitals, schools, commercial buildings and other places with concentrated human flow.
All in all, indoor air quality is the key to resist the invasion of various pathogens.
