Mycoplasma diseases

Mycoplasma diseases (morbi mycoplasmici), also known as mycoplasmosis, are a group of diseases caused by various types of mycoplasmas - microscopic bacteria that do not have a cell wall and can cause various diseases in humans.

Mycoplasmas are one of the most common groups of microorganisms that cause diseases in animals and humans. They can exist in different forms, such as plasmoids, bacteria or viruses, and can cause a wide range of diseases.

Diseases caused by mycoplasmas can be either mild or severe. Some may be asymptomatic, while others can lead to serious complications and even death.

One of the most common mycoplasma species that causes disease in humans is Mycoplasma pneumoniae. This is a bacterium that can cause pneumonia, bronchitis, sinusitis and other respiratory diseases. Symptoms include cough, runny nose, sore throat, fever and fatigue.

Another type of mycoplasma is Mycoplasma genitalium, which can cause genital infections in men and women. Symptoms may include pain when urinating, genital discharge, pain during intercourse, and others.

Treatment for mycoplasma diseases may include antibiotics, which kill the mycoplasma, but may also have side effects. Therefore, it is important to see a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.

In general, diseases caused by mycoplasmas pose a serious threat to human health and require timely and correct treatment.
