Mycoplasma infection is caused by mycoplasma bacteria, which infect many tissues and internal organs. The pathogen can live inside the human body for a long time without causing symptoms of the disease, but when the immune system is weakened, mycoplasmas begin to multiply.
Earlier, immunologist Nikolai Kryuchkov, in a conversation with Lenta.ru, said that bird flu is the first candidate for a new pandemic, which could be quite severe.
