In recent years, surges in COVID-19 and RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) have added to that story. And this year, there's another plot twist: Infections with a type of bacteria known as Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. Pneumoniae), which can be a common cause of walking pneumonia, have been on the rise. As its name implies, walking pneumonia is a kind of pneumonia (an infection where the air sacs in the lungs fill with fluid or pus) that is milder than what you'd typically expect—so you're not bedridden and you're able to go about your daily tasks, Lauren Pischel, MD, MSc, an infectious disease specialist and instructor at Yale School of Medi...
