Influenza A and B viruses

Influenza is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by influenza viruses. Influenza A and B viruses circulate seasonally every year, among which influenza A virus can cause a global pandemic.The results of the national influenza surveillance show that every year in October, the winter and spring influenza epidemic season is gradually entered in all parts of China.

severe cases due to complications such as pneumonia or aggravation of basic diseases. A few cases progress rapidly and may die due to complications such as ARDS, acute necrotizing encephalopathy or multiple organ dysfunction.Severe influenza mainly occurs in high-risk groups such as the elderly, young children, obese people, pregnant women and people with chronic underlying diseases. It can also occur in the general population.

Influenza viruses belong to the orthomyxoviridae family, which are single-stranded, negative stranded and segmented RNA viruses. According to the differences in nucleoprotein and matrix protein, influenza viruses can be classified into four types: A, B, C, D and D.At present, the main infected people are H1N1 and H3N2 subtypes of influenza A virus and the Victoria and Yamagata strains of influenza B virus.

Mycoplasma pneumoniae

Mycoplasma Pneumoniae (MP) is a member of the order Mycoplasma Pneumoniae. Originally known as Eaton Agent, it was not identified as a species of Mycoplasma until the 1960s.

Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a human primary atypical pneumonia, respiratory infectious diseases such as bronchitis, pharyngitis of common pathogens, MP infection mainly through the laboratory diagnosis of mycoplasma isolated, serological detection and polymerase chain reaction (PCR), culture method to detect MP is the gold standard of diagnosis, but slow growth of the MP, positive separation rate is low, limiting its clinical applications,Most laboratories use serological methods.
