Overview
Mycoplasma pneumonia must be differentiated from other causes of pneumonia, chest pain, dyspnea, and cough, such as other infectious causes, aspiration pneumonia, pneumonitis, lung abscess, empyema, COPD exacerbation, asthma, interstitial lung disease, cardiac diseases, and malignancies.
Differential Diagnosis
Differential diagnosis for Mycoplasma pneumonia includes the following:
- Other causes of bacterial pneumonia

- Empyema
- Lung abscess
- Bronchiectasis
- COPD exacerbation
- Asthma
- Interstitial lung disease
- Lung tumor
- Pulmonary embolism
- Pneumothorax
- Hemothorax
