In late 2023, an outbreak of mycoplasma pneumonia occurred in Ohio in the United States, primarily affecting children.[1] Despite it occurring around the same time, experts say that it is unrelated to the 2023 Chinese pneumonia outbreak.[2] The average age of children affected is eight years old, with some cases being as young as three.[1] As of December 1, 2023, investigation as to the cause is still ongoing.[3]
