As well as severe bronchitis requires antibiotics. In acute course of the disease initially prescribed drugs from the group of antibiotics are sensitive to mycoplasma, but before his appointment taken sputum for culture and susceptibility testing. After receiving the test results, if necessary, treatment is adjusted.
Just like other types of mycoplasma, Mycoplasma pneumoniae is sensitive to the antibiotic tetracycline, mikrolidov and antibacterial fluoroquinolones.
Since mycoplasma pneumonia is more common in children, the drugs of the tetracycline group are trying not to appoint: they are contraindicated to eight years. Older children and adults appoint doksitsillin, which has all the properties of tetracyclines, but less toxicity.
From macrolide drugs most commonly prescribed to children josamycin (vilprafen) - a drug of first generation macrolides, which does not have toxic properties, so it can be administered by pregnant women. But the most effective tool in the treatment of any kind is considered mycoplasma azithromycin (sumamed).
