Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pneumoniae) is a common pathogen in cases of atypical pneumonia. Most individuals with Mycoplasma pneumonia run a benign course, with non-specific symptoms of malaise, fever and non-productive cough that usually resolve with no long-term sequelae. Acute lung injury is not commonly seen in Mycoplasma pneumonia. We report a case of acute respiratory distress syndrome cause by M. pneumoniae diagnosed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
肺炎支原体是不典型肺炎病例中的常见病原体。大多数肺炎支原体感染者病程呈良性，伴有全身不适、发热和干咳等非特异性症状，通常可自行缓解，无长期后遗症。急性肺损伤在肺炎支原体感染中并不常见。我们报告一例经定量实时聚合酶链反应（RT-PCR）诊断由肺炎支原体引起的急性呼吸窘迫综合征病例。
