Abstract
Mycoplasma pneumoniae(M. pneumoniae) is the leading cause of pneumonia in school-age children and young adults. The clinical courses are usually mild but recently, severe cases were reported such as lung abscess, Swyer-James syndrome and adult respiratory distress syndrome. Spontaneous pneumothorax associated with M. pneumoniae infection is rare. Carlisle reported a 6-year-old patient with bilateral spontaneous pneumothorax associated with M. pneumoniae infection and Koura also reported a 18-year-old girl with repeated. M. pneumoniae pneumonia with recurrent pneumothorax. We experienced bilateral spontaneous tension pneumothorax and subcutaneous emphysema associated with M. pneumoniae infection in a 6-year-old boy who presented with dyspnea, chest pain, and neck swelling. We reported it as the first case in Korea.
