Summary
Mycoplasma pneumoniae is one of the most common causes of community-acquired pneumonia in
children. The clinical course is typically self-limited and benign; however, rare cases of
severe pneumonia can develop despite appropriate antibiotic therapy. The investigators aim to
study the effects of prednisolone on severe M. pneumoniae pneumonia with lobar consolidation
or pleural effusion in children.
