Infection with Mycoplasma pneumoniae appears to follow a cyclic pattern in the United Kindom, with periods of increased prevalence lasting about two years. Outbreaks occurred in 1971-1972 and 1974-75, and probably also in 1967-68. Infection confirmed by laboratory tests appeared to be commonest in older children, especially those aged 5-14, and least common in adults over 65 years of age. Lower respiratory tract infection was the clinical feature most frequently reported.
在英国,肺炎支原体感染似乎呈周期性模式,流行率上升期持续约两年。1971 - 1972年和1974 - 1975年爆发过疫情,1967 - 1968年可能也有。经实验室检测确诊的感染在大龄儿童中似乎最为常见,尤其是5 - 14岁的儿童,在65岁以上成年人中最不常见。下呼吸道感染是最常报告的临床特征。
