Abstract

Background : We encountered a case of mycoplasma pneumonia (MP) that relapsed and increased in severity after providing standard treatment. Case : A 75-year-old man was admitted to hospital for MP. He was administered standard antibiotic therapy and was discharged home. However, he was readmitted 4 days later in the recurrence of MP. Discussion : Retrospective evaluation revealed several factors that might have induced the relapse. Conclusion : It may be necessary to reconsider the standard treatment for severe MP.
