  • Title: Mycoplasma pneumoniae as a cofactor in severe respiratory infections.
    Author: Cimolai N, Wensley D, Seear M, Thomas ET.
    Journal: Clin Infect Dis; 1995 Nov; 21(5):1182-5. PubMed ID: 8589140.
    Abstract:
    We report the clinical events associated with severe bacterial or viral infections in four patients whose illnesses followed or coincided with acute Mycoplasma pneumoniae respiratory infection. We propose that M. pneumoniae has the ability to act as a cofactor in severe respiratory disease by facilitating alterations in local respiratory immunity or structure and function.
