Walking pneumonia cases are surging in the U.S., particularly among children aged 2 to 4, with emergency visits escalating significantly between March and October.
The CDC reports that while Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections are typically common in youths age 5 to 17, there's been a notable increase in younger children this year.
From early spring, walking pneumonia cases have increased noticeably, with emergency visits for those infected rising from 1% to 7.2% among children aged 2 to 4.
With around 2 million cases of walking pneumonia occurring annually in the U.S., the recent spike among the youngest age group presents a concerning trend.
