It's a common ..: cause of pneumonia or bronchitis, but also causes pharyngitis and sinusitis. About 50% of adults in the United States show evidence they have been infected by age 20! Testing for reliable diagnosis is needed. It responds to macrolide (erythromycin, azithromycin) antibiotics. So it is serious, but not more so than many causes of pneumonia. I'm sorry, I don't know what the Whelton protocol is:(
