Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory
syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is spreading at a rapid pace, and the World
Health Organization declared it as pandemic on 11 March 2020. Mycoplasma
pneumoniae is an "atypical" bacterial pathogen commonly known to cause
respiratory illness in humans. The coinfection from SARS-CoV-2 and mycoplasma
pneumonia is rarely reported in the literature to the best of our knowledge. We
present a study in which 6 of 350 patients confirmed with COVID-19 were also
diagnosed with M. pneumoniae infection. In this study, we described the clinical
characteristics of patients with coinfection. Common symptoms at the onset of
illness included fever (six [100%] patients); five (83.3%) patients had a cough,
shortness of breath, and fatigue. The other symptoms were myalgia (66.6%),
gastrointestinal symptoms (33.3%-50%), and altered mental status (16.7%). The
laboratory parameters include lymphopenia, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation
rate, C-reactive protein, lactate dehydrogenase, interleukin-6, serum ferritin,
and D-dimer in all six (100%) patients. The chest X-ray at presentation showed
bilateral infiltrates in all the patients (100%). We also described
electrocardiogram findings, complications, and treatment during hospitalization
in detail. One patient died during the hospital course.
