Mycoplasma pneumonia was first discovered in 1898 and has since become one the most common pathogens involved in pneumonia worldwide. However, serious complications associated with pathogen have rarely been seen outside of the immunocomprised population. We report a case of acute respiratory distress syndrome caused by a subsequent M. pneumonia in an immunocompetent patient. The epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of M. pneumonia will be discussed.
