Overview
In the USA, the incidence of Mycoplasma pneumonia is approximately 600 per 100,000 individuals. Patients younger than 40 years of age (especially between 5 and 20 years of age) are more commonly affected with Mycoplasma pneumonia. There is no gender predilection to the development of Mycoplasma pneumonia, but men may experience a more severe disease compared with women. The incidence of Mycoplasma pneumonia is higher in regions with temperate climate during the Summer and Fall.
