[|Human|] Hi, My husband has been diagnosed with atypical pneumonia ? mycoplasma in origin. He has been v ill for 2 weeks, hospitalised for 1 on iv abx which he failed to respond to ( Piperacillin and flagyl) finally responding to klacid. My daughter now has similar infection. Dr has prescribed cefaclor. Will this be effective for cap if mycoplasmic in origin?
[|AI|]  Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query. In my opinion you should take erythromycin for atypical infection. Cephalosporins like refactor won't affect cytoplasm. Protein inhibitor like erythromycin will be effective for cytoplasm. Doxycycline is alternative of the erythromycin. You should also search for source of infections, like cytoplasm has air conditioner as a reservoir. I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.  Thank you.
