Some MPP especially the refractory mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia(RMPP) and the severe mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia may cause bronchiectasia, bronchitis obliterans, bronchiolitis obliterans, unilateral hyperlucent lung and some other long term concurrent diseases.A large number of foreign research show that MP may cause asthma.Most cases of MPP show favourable prognosis, so sometimes the lack knowledge of poor prognosis of MPP bothers clinicians.Therefore, the paper summarizes the long term concurrent diseases of MPP.
