Dr. Jiang Weimin
When Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is concurrent with hepatitis B, appropriate treatment measures should be taken for each infection to facilitate patient recovery. Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is generally treated with antibiotics. Depending on the severity of illness and patient factors such as age, doctors will select suitable antibiotics and conduct regular follow-up examinations during treatment to ensure effective control of the disease. Concurrent hepatitis B infection may require antiviral therapy. The choice of antiviral treatment depends on the patient's clinical condition and overall health status. Commonly used medications include lamivudine.
