Dr. Jiang Weimin
Hepatitis B is a common viral pneumonia, primarily caused by the hepatitis B virus. Common symptoms include fever, fatigue, headache, and cough. Mycoplasma infection is a common bacterial pneumonia, mainly caused by Mycoplasma, with typical symptoms such as fever, fatigue, cough, and sputum production. Co-infection with hepatitis B and Mycoplasma refers to pneumonia caused by both the hepatitis B virus and Mycoplasma. Symptoms are often more severe and may include fever, headache, fatigue, cough, sputum production, and even difficulty breathing. Prompt medical attention is recommended for co-infection with hepatitis B and Mycoplasma to avoid delays in treatment and worsening of the condition.
