Respiratory mycoplasmosis in pediatrician's practice

Abstract

Respiratory mycoplasmosis is a group of infectious and inflammatory diseases of the respiratory system caused by pathogenic microorganisms - Mycoplasma species. It was found that the major causative agent is Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pneumoniae). The role of other mycoplasma pathogens in the development of respiratory infections still remains a subject of debate. Hence, the term "respiratory mycoplasmosis" is generally associated with M-pneumoniae infection [5, 7, 15, 22].
