Abstract :
Introduction: Mycoplasma pneumoniae is an important cause of atypical pneumonia, whose sign and symptoms mimics other respiratory disease also. Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of M. pneumoniae among patients of atypical pneumonia, by isolating and identifying it. Material and methods: We prospectively analysed 105 patients of atypical pneumonia in our tertiary care hospital, Gwalior. Respiratory samples were collected in sterile containers containing Pleura pneumonia like organism (PPLO) oth and processed and identified by standard laboratory technique. Results: Out of 105 patients, 09 (8.57%) were positive for M. pneumoniae by culture method. Conclusions: This pathogen are important cause of atypical pneumonia, but under looked due to lack of proper diagnostic methods. So we need to find out true prevalence rate.
