Pneumonia — China
_Mycoplasma_ infections are becoming more drug resistant, doctors say, adding that there could be a major outbreak this year. _Mycoplasma_ can spread through contact with the saliva or mucus of an infected person, with the typical age of onset being 5 to 15 years. Infections are more prevalent during the transition period from spring to summer or in the fall, and common symptoms include respiratory tract infection, pneumonia and persistent coughing with phlegm.
