''Mycoplasma'' pneumonia (also known as "walking pneumonia" because its patients can sometimes continue to walk about while suffering from its symptoms) is a form of bacterial pneumonia caused by the bacterial species ''Mycoplasma pneumoniae''. ==Pathophysiology== ''Mycoplasma pneumoniae'' is spread through respiratory droplet transmission. Once attached to the mucosa of a host organism, ''M. pneumoniae'' extracts nutrients, grows, and reproduces by binary fission. Attachment sites include the upper and lower respiratory tract, causing pharyngitis, bronchitis, and pneumonia. The infection caused by this bacterium is called atypical pneumonia because of its protracted course and lack of sputum production and wealth of extrapulmonary symptoms. Chronic ''Mycoplasma'' infections have been implicated in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis and other rheumatological diseases. ''Mycoplasma'' atypical pneumonia can be complicated by Stevens–Johnson syndrome, hemolytic anemia, Cardiovascular diseases, encephalitis, or Guillain-Barré syndrome.
