Chlamydia pneumonia needs to be prevented in this way

Chlamydia is a common fungus. Once symptoms of infection appear, many people will suffer from chlamydial pneumonia, which is an extremely terrible disease that must be actively prevented. From a clinical perspective, chlamydial pneumonia is mainly transmitted through respiratory secretions, so people with low immune function should try not to go out or go to public places during the flu season.

1. Causes of Chlamydia Pneumonia

Chlamydia infection (90%):

The cause of Chlamydial pneumonia is infection with Chlamydia pneumoniae, a newly discovered type of Chlamydia that mainly causes respiratory tract and lung infections. In 1986, Grayeton et al. discovered a type of Chlamydia in acute respiratory infections among students. It was later also found in respiratory diseases in adults. It was named Chlamydia psittaci TWAR-TW strain at the time. Later studies proved that the Chlamydia was a new species and named Chlamydia pneumoniae.

2. Chlamydia pneumonia care

1. Pay attention to strengthening care and rest, keep the indoor air fresh, and maintain appropriate room temperature and humidity. Keep the airway open and change body position frequently. Restlessness can aggravate hypoxia, so appropriate amounts of sedatives can be given. Provide food that is rich in calories, vitamins, easy to digest and absorb, and plenty of water.

2. Patients with severe illness, long course of illness, physical weakness or malnutrition should be given blood or plasma transfusion, or treated with immunoglobulin G to improve the body's resistance.

3. Prevention of Chlamydia Pneumonia

Chlamydia pneumoniae often causes upper respiratory tract and respiratory tract infections in children and adults. Currently, humans are the only known host of this chlamydia, and the infection may be transmitted from person to person through respiratory secretions. Because the virulence of Chlamydia pneumoniae is relatively weak, it mainly occurs in people with weakened immune function. Therefore, we must take care to prevent a decrease in immunity and try to reduce activities in crowded places during the influenza season.
