This year has seen a significant rise in infections caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae, particularly among children aged 2 to 4, according to the CDC.
While about 10 percent of infections lead to pneumonia, this bacteria can result in milder symptoms like fever and chest pain that can linger.
During a peak period in late August, emergency rooms saw a notable increase in young children being diagnosed with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections.
Health experts urge vigilance among parents and healthcare providers, as the recent spike in infections among younger children is striking compared to typical trends.
