Abstract
This report summarizes the clinical significance of macrolide-resistant and refractory MP pneumonia and discusses the efficacy and safety of alternative drugs, with a stepwise approach to the management of MP pneumonia recommended from the viewpoint of clinical practice. • Although MP pneumonia is usually a benign self-limited infection with response macrolides as first line therapy, severe life-threatening cases may develop if additional treatment strategies are not effectively implemented. • Macrolide-resistant and refractory MP pneumonia are two conditions that may complicate the clinical course of MP pneumonia, increasing the risk for exacerbation and even death. • This report summarizes the clinical relevance of macrolide-resistant and refractory MP pneumonia and discusses the efficacy and safety of alternative drug therapies. • A practical stepwise approach to the management of MP pneumonia is developed based on a comprehensive analysis of existing evidence and expert opinion.
