Deskripsi

Mycoplasma pneumoniae is one of the most common causes of community-acquired pneumonia in adults. Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) presents with pulmonary and extrapulmonary manifestations. Pneumothorax is a rare MPP complication in children. But, we reported a case of MPP with hydropneumothorax in an adult. The association of MPP, hydropneumothorax, and empyema is extremely rare.
