Abstract excerpt
Severe Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (SMPP) presents a major clinical challenge, increasingly complicated by macrolide-resistant strains (MRMP) and viral co-infections. The progression of SMPP is fundamentally driven by intricate immune-mediated mechanisms rather than direct pathogen-induced injury. Key drivers include innate immune hyperactivation, such as NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis, and adaptive...
