Primary Prevention

There is no known way to prevent atypical pneumonia. However, avoiding people who have the infection can help reduce your risk.

Infants, and persons in poor health, especially those with weakened immune systems due to HIV, organ transplants, or other conditions should avoid contact with people who have mycoplasma pneumonia.
