Official Title: Effects of Oral Steroid in Mycoplasma Pneumoniae Pneumonia With Lobar Consolidation or Pleural Effusion in Children
Brief Summary: Mycoplasma pneumoniae is one of the most common causes of community-acquired pneumonia in children. The clinical course is typically self-limited and benign; however, rare cases of severe pneumonia can develop despite appropriate antibiotic therapy. The investigators aim to study the effects of prednisolone on severe M. pneumoniae pneumonia with lobar consolidation or pleural effusion in children.
