Mycoplasma pneumoniae bronchiolitis in adults: clinicoradiologic features and clinical course.
The clinicoradiologic features of Mycoplasma pneumoniae bronchiolitis in adults remain unclear. 29 patients with M. pneumoniae infection were collected and classified by computed tomographic findings (bronchiolitis (n=8) and pneumonia (n=21)). M. pneumoniae bronchiolitis is not rare in adults and is clinically similar to M. pneumoniae pneumonia, despite radiographic differences.
