Abstract
Mycoplasma pneumoniae was isolated and identified from the throat of a 13 years old boy with X-rays appearence of bron-
chopneumonia involving the left lower Iung, Serological tests showed a significant rise in antibody against M. pneumonia e in the convalescence serum. On the other hand, no significant rise was detected against Influenza virus A/England/42/72, A/Hong Kong/1/68, B/Massachusetts/66, adenoviruses and respiratory syncytial viruses. The clinical features of the case and the response to the treatment with erithromycin were typical.
