 ==Overview==
+Risk factors in the development of ''Mycoplasma'' pneumonia include age between 5-40 years, living in closed communities (healthcare settings, prisoners, military, college students), active lung disease, [[immunocompromised status]], history of [[sickle cell disease]], and active smoking.
 ==Risk Factors==
-Persons of all ages are at risk but rarely children less than 5 years old. It is the leading cause of [[pneumonia]] in school-age children and young adults. Outbreaks can occur especially in crowded military and institutional (e.g., college) settings. Outbreaks in these settings can last several months.
+Risk factors in the development of ''Mycoplasma'' pneumonia include the following:
+*Individuals between 5 and 40 years of age
+*Individuals in closed communities
+:*Healthcare setting
+:*Prisoners
+:*Military
+:*College dormitories
+*Active [[smoking]] status
+*Active lung disease
+*Patients with [[sickle cell disease]]
