What is Atypical pneumonia?

Atypical pneumonia refers to pneumonia caused by certain bacteria -- namely, Legionella pneumophila, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and Chlamydophila pneumoniae.

While atypical pneumonias are commonly associated with milder forms of pneumonia, pneumonia due to Legionella, in particular, can be quite severe and lead to high mortality rates.

Alternative Names:

Walking pneumonia; Chlamydophila pneumoniae
