Abstract

The article discusses the problem of mycoplasmal infection in pediatric practice. Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a fairly common agent of acute respiratory infections in children, which is the second most important etiologic factor in the development of community-acquired pneumonia in children older than 5 years. Mycoplasmal infection can occur in different clinical variants with varying degrees of severity, and the severity of the course and the spectrum of clinical manifestations, both respiratory and non-respiratory, are associated most with the virulence of the pathogen and the immune potential of the infected person. There is still a need to develop an readily accessible test for rapid diagnosis. Antibacterial therapy is recommended for the treatment of pneumonia and severe forms requiring hospitalization.
