摘　　要：Mycoplasma pneumoniae(M.pneumoniae)is a common pathogen that causes community-acquired pneumonia in children.The clinical presentation of this pathogen can range from mild self-limiting illness to severe and refractory cases.Complications may occur,such as necrotizing pneumonia and respiratory failure.Extrapulmonary complications,including encephalitis,myocarditis,nephritis,hepatitis,or even multiple organ failure,can also arise.In this editorial,we dis-cuss the clinical implications of the significant findings from the article"Serum inflammatory markers in children with M.pneumoniae pneumonia and their predictive value for mycoplasma severity"published by Wang et al.They reported that measuring lactic dehydrogenase,interleukin-6 levels,and D-dimer effectively predicts refractory M.pneumoniae pneumonia cases.
