Abstract
- Acute respiratory failure from mycoplasma pneumonia is uncommon, because community-acquired pneumonia from mycoplasma pneumonia is typically not severe in patients without underlying disease. In addition, alveolar hemorrhage is a rare manifestation in these cases. We describe a case of acute respiratory failure that required mechanical ventilation due to diffuse alveolar hemorrhage in an immunocompetent patient with mycoplasma pneumonia.
