  • Title: [New aspects on the treatment of pneumonia associated with acute mycoplasma infections (author's transl)].
    Author: Helwig H, Braun W, Doerr HW.
    Journal: Dtsch Med Wochenschr; 1977 Jan 28; 102(4):118-22. PubMed ID: 832591.
    Abstract:
    Over a period of 16 months acute mycoplasma pneumonia was diagnosed in 20 patients. All were rapidly and completely cured by ampicillin and cephalosporins, which are ineffective against mycoplasma, indicating that acute mycoplasma infection in children does not require selective treatment, the pneumonia probably being caused by other micro-organisms. There is no prove that mycoplasma pneumonia heals spontaneously, without any therapy.
