==Overview==

==Diagnosis==
''M. pneumoniae'' infections can be differentiated from other types of pneumonia by the relatively slow progression of symptoms, a positive blood test for cold-hemagglutinins in 50-70% of patients after 10 days of infection  (cold-hemagglutinin-test should be used with caution or not at all since 50% of the tests are false-positive), lack of bacteria in a gram-stained sputum sample, and a lack of growth on blood agar.
Mycoplasma atypical pneumonia can be complicated by [[Stevens-Johnson syndrome]], [[hemolytic anemia]], [[encephalitis]] or [[Guillain-Barré syndrome]].
