AbstractAtypical pneumonia has been thought to account for 7%‐20% of community‐acquired pneumonia (CAP). The treatment for the pathogens that cause atypical pneumonia is different from that of other bacterial pneumonia. Therefore, identification of the causative pathogen in a primary care situation is crucial for adequate treatment of CAP. Mycoplasma infection is prevalent in the general population, but Mycoplasma pneumoniae with extrapulmonary symptoms is relatively rare. Herein, we report a case of CAP because of M. pneumoniae that presented with a wide variety of extrapulmonary diseases. Delayed administration of appropriate antibiotics may contribute to development of extrapulmonary manifestations.
