Why should mycoplasma infections be taken seriously?

Recently, we have encountered many children who have a long cough or a very intense, spasmodic cough, which often results in a red face and vomiting, and which is unusually painful. Mycoplasma infections have increased significantly in recent years, often in patients with pre-existing allergies, and are often missed because there are no obvious signs on auscultation of the lungs. It is important to pay attention to this.
