Bacterial and Mycoplasmal Pneumonia
Mycoplasma pneumonia usually starts with a dry cough and tiredness, followed occasionally by a rash and phlegm production. Although the symptoms are usually mild, they can last for several weeks.
Viral pneumonia may last longer, and mycoplasmal pneumonia may take four to six weeks to resolve completely. The eventual outcome of an episode of pneumonia depends on how ill the person is when he or she is first diagnosed.
