New Research Progress in Mycoplasma pneumoniae Infection

As an important pathogen of respiratory tract infection, Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) may not only lead to primary atypical pneumonia but also cause systemic organ conditions. MP causes respiratory tract infection among school-age children and is also an important infectious agent for adult respirator...

MP causes respiratory tract infection among school-age children and is also an important infectious agent for adult respiratory tract infection. Intensive studies on roles of MP infection on the innate immune system significantly aid development of targeted therapy drugs. Epidemic studies on associated symptoms also help in clinical prevention and diagnosis and show importance to personalized treatment utilizing different drugs for different patients. This study summarizes the abovementioned three points based on MP studies in recent years.http://www.degruyter.com/view/j/ii.2015.4.issue-4/ii-2017-0114/ii-2017-0114.xml?format=INTMycoplasma pneumoniaeinfectiontreatmentimmune response
