“…Only M.pneumoniae produces respiratory infection in man, whereas M. hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum are etiologic agents of genitourinary tract infections. Mostly affected are groups such as families and school or military populations [8,9,11,14,[18][19][20]. The variable frequency could be explained by the different age distribution in the reported studies and by changes in the epidemiologic situation.…”

Mycoplasmal pneumonias in childhood

The chest radiographs of 23 children, aged between 4.2 to 15.4 years with serologically proven mycoplasmal pneumonia were reviewed and correlated with the findings in literature. Three different patterns of infiltration were seen in equal frequency: 1) peribronchial and perivascular interstitial infiltrates, 2) patchy consolidations and 3) homogeneous acinar consolidations like groundglass. The lower fields of the lungs were mostly affected. Pattern 1 was always observed bilaterally. Enlargement of the hilar glands was a common finding. Pleural effusion was rare. Numerous differential diagnoses, especially viral pneumonias, feature the heterogeneity of the infiltration patterns. As no pattern is pathognomonic for mycoplasmal pneumonia clinical symptoms and signs, the epidemiological situation and laboratory data may confirm the diagnosis.
