FIG. 1 Ages of those confirmed as M. pneumoniae positive by serology and/or NAAT. The peak incidence occurred in the 5–14-year-old age group, although the average age of both patients in the community and patients admitted to critical care was higher than that seen in those admitted to general wards in the hospital. The cluster of cases that occurred in the community in south-east Wales predominantly affected people in the age range 45–64 with one admission to critical care; this is higher than the age ranges normally associated with M. pneumoniae infection.
