This is the Gejala Pasien Anak who is exposed to Mycoplasma Pneumonia in DKI Jakarta.

Dream - The Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia has investigated reports about children in Jakarta who are suspected of being exposed to Mycoplasma Pneumonia bacteria that causes mysterious pneumonia in China and has spread to many countries such as the Netherlands and the United States. The investigation results show that six children aged 3 - 12 years old have tested positive for Mycoplasma pneumoniae bacteria.

According to the Ministry of Health, symptoms of Mycoplasma pneumonia in the six children generally start with fever and cough. Some also complain of headaches.

"There are some who start to feel shortness of breath, but it is mild. Almost all symptoms are the same," said Director General of Disease Prevention and Control of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, Maxi Rein Rondonowu, on Wednesday, December 6, 2023, as quoted from Liputan.com."

"Six children patients who were infected with Mycoplasma pneumoniae bacteria were admitted to the hospital, five patients were treated at RS Medistra Jakarta and one patient at JWCC."

"Out of the six patients, three were hospitalized," said Maxi. The children had previously been infected with Mycoplasma pneumonia around October - November. The good news is that currently all the child patients have fully recovered. "We have asked the hospital that treated them, they have recovered," Maxi said.

"Low Fatality Rate"

"In the same occasion, pediatric specialist consultant from RS Cipto Mangunkusumo Nastiti Kaswandani said that Mycoplasma pneumoniae bacteria is not a new bacteria. This bacteria has been discovered since the 1930s. Unlike the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the cause of COVID-19, which was first detected in 2019."

Nastiti urges the public not to panic. The mortality rate or death rate in people infected with Mycoplasma pneumoniae is 0.5 to two percent. "Death usually occurs because the patient has comorbidities," said Nastiti.

"Nastiti also explains that the symptoms that occur in Mycoplasma pneumonia are similar to those of acute respiratory tract infections in general. It starts with fever, cough. This cough can be very bothersome and can last for 2-3 weeks, quite a long time," said Nastiti."

There is a sore throat and weakness, in older children chest pain may occur. According to Nastiti, compared to other pneumonia, the severity of Mycoplasma pneumonia is much lower.

The translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags is: "The patient does not need oxygen and infusion assistance. "That's why it's called walking pneumonia. Because even though they have pneumonia, the child can still walk around and engage in activities as usual, unlike the typical picture of pneumonia that requires infusion and hospitalization," said Dr. Nastiti. "

Reasons 6 Patients Must Be Hospitalized

Regarding the causes of the 3 pediatric patients who were affected by mild Mycoplasma pneumonia, Maxi stated that according to the data provided by the hospital, the patients were also infected with other viruses. "Some were affected by adenovirus, RSV," said Maxi. This necessitates comprehensive medical treatment with hospitalization.
