SUMMARY: Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth has reported a spike in mycoplasma pneumonia cases, with 80 out of nearly 400 patients testing positive last week, compared to zero cases the same week last year. Doctors warn that although some children may not be severely affected, they can still spread the illness, which can lead to severe symptoms in others, including prolonged coughing, fever, and painful mouth blisters. Mycoplasma pneumonia, often causing “walking pneumonia,” is easily spread in social settings like summer camps and playgrounds. Parents are advised to practice good hygiene, keep sick children at home, and seek medical care if needed.

Cook Children's says last week, 80 out of 398 patients tested were found to be infected, or a 20% positivity rate. The same time last year, the positivity rate was zero.
