Twelve adults with community acquired mycoplasmal pneumonia were seen over a period of two years since 1983. There were nine females and three males with a mean age of 22.2 years. Cough productive of yellowish sputum and fever were the commonest presenting symptoms and left basal pneumonia was the most frequent radiological manifestation. Prexia subsided rapidly in response to erythromycin and radiological resolution took about two weeks in the majority.
