Hello docs, is atypical pneumonia still dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be: Atypical pneumonia often caused by mycoplasma. This organism could trigger asthma in patients who are suffering from asthma eventhough their asthma is under control. Such a patient might need step up treatment for asthma. Uncontrolled asthma could be dangerous. Shahzeidi, md.
