Question

An 11-year-old presents with a low-grade fever and cough and diagnosed with atypical pneumonia. what type of pneumonia does the nurse suspect the patient is experiencing?

Answer 1

The type of pneumonia the nurse can suspect is mycoplasma pneumonia.

Mycoplasma pneumoniae bacteria are commonly responsible for minor respiratory infections (the parts of the body involved in breathing). Tracheobronchitis is the most common illness caused by these bacteria, particularly in children (chest cold). M. pneumoniae lung infections are sometimes referred to as "walking pneumonia."

Mycoplasma is spread through contact with droplets from infected people's noses and throats, particularly when they cough and sneeze. It is believed that transmission requires prolonged close contact with an infected person. Slowly, the virus spreads through families, schools, and institutions.
